Synaptopodin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYNPO gene.

Function

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).

Interactions

SYNPO has been shown to interact with MAGI1.
