Sorting nexins (SNXs) are involved in sorting the protein cargo within the endolysosomal system. Recently, several studies have shown the role of SNXs in cardiovascular pathology. SNXs exert both physiologic and pathologic functions in the cardiovascular system by regulating protein sorting and trafficking, maintaining protein homeostasis, and participating in multiple signaling pathways. SNX deficiency results in blood pressure response to dopamine 5 receptor [D5R] stimulation. SNX knockout protected against atherosclerosis lesions by suppressing foam cell formation. Moreover, SNXs can act as endogenous anti-arrhythmic agents via maintenance of calcium homeostasis. Overexpression SNXs also can reduce cardiac fibrosis in atrial fibrillation. The SNX-STAT3 interaction in cardiac cells promoted heart failure. SNXs may have the potential to act as a pharmacological target against specific cardiovascular diseases.
