| Primary Identifier | MGI:1099446 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 104027 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of actin filament bundle assembly; and regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in cell periphery and stress fiber. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; respiratory system; sensory organ; skeleton; and tooth. Orthologous to human SYNPO (synaptopodin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display abnormalities in telencephalic neurons, reduced long term potentiation, and behavioral abnormalities including hypoactivity, reduced anxiety, and learning deficiencies.
