The retromer is a complex of Vacuolar protein sorting proteins that mediate retrieval of lysosomal hydrolases from endosomes to the trans golgi network. The human retromer complex can be separated into two smaller complexes, a membrane targeting sorting nexin dimer and a heterotrimeric cargo recognition complex. New and previously solved structures, bioinformatics, interaction studies, molecular modelling and electron microscopy of the entire complex are combined to develop a structural model of the complex.
