Jph2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity; and regulation of cardiac muscle tissue development. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be located in Z disc; membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of junctional membrane complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; plasma membrane; and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Biomarker of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy 2E and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 17. Orthologous to human JPH2 (junctophilin 2).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Jph2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
