The molecular mechanisms of neurotrophin receptor trafficking are only partially understood. Here the authors show that ARHGAP33 interacts with SORT1 to regulate TrkB trafficking, the dysfunction of which impairs synapse development and leads to schizophrenia-related behavioural abnormalities in mice.
