SORL1 and Alzheimer's Disease

This web page was produced as an assignment for Gen677, an undergraduate course at UW-Madison Spring 2009

SORL1 Stats

Gene Accession #: NC_000011.8
DNA Accession #: NM_003105.4
Protein Accession #: NP_003096.1
cDNA Accession #: NM_003105
Total Base Pairs: 177,492
Total Amino Acids: 2,214
Location: Chromosome 11 specifically  11q23.2-q24.2 


Below you will see a pictorial representation of the SORL1 sequence from Sequence Viewer.  This info was all found through an Entrez search.

DNA Sequence

Shown above is the beginning of the DNA sequence of human SORL1.  This sequence was found through a search on Entrez and the entire DNA sequence can be found at there.  Amazingly, there are 177,492 base pairs in the human version of SORL1!  Needless to say, the segment shown above is just a small portion.


Protein Sequence

Shown above is the beginning of the protein sequence of human SORL1.  This segment and the entire protein sequence was found through a search on Entrez.  There are 2,214 amino acids in human SORL1.  There are enough base pairs in SORL1 to code for 59,164 amino acids, so obviously alot of the DNA sequence is non-coding.
