Summary: Predicted to enable structural molecule activity. Involved in locomotion and positive regulation of engulfment of apoptotic cell. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of junctional membrane complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in body wall musculature; muscle cell; nerve ring; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2K; Huntington's disease-like 2; dilated cardiomyopathy 2E; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 17. Orthologous to several human genes including JPH3 (junctophilin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
