- SMCs were also found to express four junctophilin isoforms (Jph1-4), of which Jph2 was the most highly expressed in the SMCs. Ryr2 encodes a Ca 2+ induced Ca 2+ release channel, which is localized to the junctional membrane complex between the plasma membrane and endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the JPH2 protein is an essential component of the junctional complex.
