JSRP1 is involved in the regulation of the voltage-sensitive calcium channel CACNA1S. This regulation is essential for the proper influx and efflux of calcium ions in skeletal muscle cells, which is critical for muscle contraction and relaxation . The protein can interact with other key proteins such as CACNB1 and calsequestrin to help regulate calcium dynamics within the sarcoplasmic reticulum .
Recombinant human JSRP1 is a form of the protein that is produced through recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the human JSRP1 gene into a suitable host organism, such as Escherichia coli, to produce the protein in large quantities. The recombinant protein is often tagged with a His-tag at the N-terminus to facilitate purification and detection .
The recombinant human JSRP1 protein is typically used in research to study its function and interactions with other proteins. It is also used in various assays to understand its role in muscle physiology and related diseases .
Mutations or dysregulation of the JSRP1 gene have been associated with certain muscular diseases. For example, atrophic muscular disease and Brody disease have been linked to abnormalities in JSRP1 . Understanding the function and regulation of JSRP1 is therefore important for developing potential therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
Recombinant human JSRP1 is used in various research applications, including:
