This gene encodes a member of the junctophilin family of [transmembrane proteins](/source/transmembrane_proteins) that are involved in the formation of the junctional membrane complexes between the [plasma membrane](/source/plasma_membrane) and the endoplasmic/[sarcoplasmic reticulum](/source/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](/source/transcript_variants). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009].
