Vps10p domain receptors are important for regulating intracellular protein sorting within the central nervous system and as such constitute risk factors for different brain pathologies. Here, we show that removal of SorCS2 leads to altered lysosomal activity in mouse primary neurons. SorCS2-/- neurons show elevated lysosomal markers such as LAMP1 and acidic hydrolases including cathepsin B and D. Despite increased levels, SorCS2-/- neurons fail to degrade cathepsin specific substrates in a live context. SorCS2-deficient mice present an increase in lysolipids, which may contribute to membrane permeabilization and increased susceptibility to lysosomal stress. Our findings highlight SorCS2 as an important factor for a balanced neuronal lysosome milieu.
