The Role of Junctophilin Proteins in Cellular Function

Authors Lehnart SE, Wehrens XHT Journal Physiological Reviews Citation Physiol Rev. 2022 Jan 10. Abstract Junctophilins (JPHs) comprise a family of structural proteins that connect the plasma membrane to intracellular organelles such as the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum. Tethering of these membrane structures results in the formation of highly organized subcellular junctions
