Gene: JPH1
Alternate names for this Gene: CMT2K|JP-1|JP1
Gene Summary: Junctional complexes between the plasma membrane and endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum are a common feature of all excitable cell types and mediate cross talk between cell surface and intracellular ion channels. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of junctional complexes and is composed of a C-terminal hydrophobic segment spanning the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and a remaining cytoplasmic domain that shows specific affinity for the plasma membrane. This gene is a member of the junctophilin gene family.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8q21.11
Description of this Gene: junctophilin 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
