Summary: Synaptopodin is an actin-associated protein that may play a role in actin-based cell shape and motility. The name synaptopodin derives from the protein's associations with postsynaptic densities and dendritic spines and with renal podocytes (Mundel et al., 1997 [PubMed 9314539]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
Expression: Broad expression in heart (RPKM 65.2), fat (RPKM 35.1) and 20 other tissues See more

The postsynaptic protein, synaptopodin (SYNPO) was significantly down-regulated in both dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia subgroups, suggesting a defective synaptic transmission in the demented patients.

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.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) has multiple differences compared to variant 1. These differences result in a distinct 5' UTR and cause translation initiation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded protein (isoform C) is longer than isoform 1 and contains unique N- and C-termini. Both variants 3 and 4 encode the same isoform (C).
