Function | [Junctophilin-2]: Membrane-binding protein that provides a structural bridge between the plasma membrane and the sarcoplasmic reticulum and is required for normal excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes (PubMed:20095964). Provides a structural foundation for functional cross-talk between the cell surface and intracellular Ca(2+) release channels by maintaining the 12-15 nm gap between the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in the cardiac dyads (By similarity). Necessary for proper intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in cardiac myocytes via its involvement in ryanodine receptor-mediated calcium ion release (By similarity). Contributes to the construction of skeletal muscle triad junctions (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Junctophilin-2]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}. Sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78}. Note=The transmembrane domain is anchored in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, while the N-terminal part associates with the plasma membrane. In heart cells, it predominantly associates along Z lines within myocytes. In skeletal muscle, it is specifically localized at the junction of A and I bands {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9ET78} |
Tissue Location | Specifically expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. |

Background
Junctophilins contribute to the formation of junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) which link the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum in excitable cells. Provides a structural foundation for functional cross-talk between the cell surface and intracellular calcium release channels. JPH2 is necessary for proper intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in cardiac myocytes via its involvement in ryanodine receptor-mediated calcium ion release. Contributes to the construction of skeletal muscle triad junctions.
