'''Junctophilin 4''' is a protein in humans that is encoded by the JPH4 gene. <ref name="entrez"> {{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: Junctophilin 4 | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?db=gene&cmd=retrieve&list_uids=84502 | access-date = 2013-04-13 <!-- T04:00:47.443743-08:00 --> }}</ref>

This gene encodes a member of the junctophilin family of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the formation of the junctional membrane complexes between the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum in excitable cells. The encoded protein contains a conserved N-terminal repeat region called the membrane occupation and recognition nexus sequence that is found in other members of the junctophilin family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009].
