Summary: Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including modification of dendritic spine; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of actin filament bundle assembly. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and spine apparatus. Orthologous to human SYNPO (synaptopodin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The study provides evidence of a novel role for the co-chaperone BAG3 in synapses. In cooperation with SYNPO, it functions as part of a surveillance complex that facilitates the autophagic clearance of MAPT p-Ser262, and possibly other MAPT species at the post-synapse.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
