The junctional complex between the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum is a common feature of all excitable cell types and mediates crosstalk between cell surface and intracellular ion channels. The protein encoded by this gene is part of a junctional complex consisting of a C-terminal hydrophobic segment spanning the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum and the remaining cytoplasmic domain with specific affinity for the plasma membrane. This gene is a member of the conjunctivophilin gene family.
