Summary

The retromer complex is a highly conserved multi-protein assembly that mediates the retrograde transport of transmembrane proteins from endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) or the plasma membrane. In the central nervous system, retromer dysfunction has emerged as a convergent pathogenic m
