Gene:
Homolog of mouse skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum protein JP-45
Description:
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is an intracellular membrane compartment that controls intracellular calcium concentration and therefore plays a role in excitation-contraction coupling. In mouse skeletal muscle, Jp45 interacts with key proteins involved in excitation-contraction coupling at the SR (Anderson et al., 2003 [PubMed 12871958]).[supplied by OMIM]
