Junctophilin-2

Preferred Label : Junctophilin-2;

NCIt synonyms : Junctophilin 2; JPH2; Junctophilin Type 2; JP-2;

NCIt definition : Junctophilin-2 (696 aa, 74 kDa) is encoded by the human JPH2 gene. This protein is involved in linking the plasma membrane and the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal and heart myocytes.;

NCIt note : The junctophilin-2 protein is cleaved by calpain in response to cardiac stress and leads to the release of the junctophilin-2 N-terminal fragment (JP2NT). (UniProt);
