junctophilin 3, the group of Junctophilins

Gene summary

Junctional complexes between the plasma membrane and endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum are a common feature of all excitable cell types and mediate cross talk between cell surface and intracellular ion channels. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of junctional complexes and is composed of a C-terminal hydrophobic segment spanning the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane and a remaining cytoplasmic domain that shows specific affinity for the plasma membrane. CAG/CTG repeat expansion from normally 6-28 repeats to 40-59 repeats in the 3' UTR of this gene have been associated with Huntington disease-like 2 (HDL2). This gene is a member of the junctophilin gene family. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_020655.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Junctophilins contribute to the formation of junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) which link the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum in excitable cells. Provides a structural foundation for functional cross-talk between the cell surface and intracellular calcium release channels. JPH3 is brain- specific and appears to have an active role in certain neurons involved in motor coordination and memory.;
Disease
DISEASE: Huntington disease-like 2 (HDL2) [MIM:606438]: Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder resulting primarily from the loss of medium spiny projection neurons in the striatum, especially in the caudate nucleus, and, to a lesser extent, atrophy of mesencephalic and cortical structures. The typical clinical picture of HD combines familial adult onset chorea and subcortical dementia that usually begin during the fourth decade of life. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11914418, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14557581}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
