“…They are involved in (i) calcium storage (calsequestrin) (25), (ii) signal transduction (triadin TD, junctin JC, mitsugumin-29, JP45) (23,24,26,27), (iii) calcium homeostasis (Ca 2ϩ pump, Na/Ca exchanger) (28), and (iv) maintenance of SR spatial organization and integrity (junctophilin) (29). Our previous studies (24,30) demonstrated that JP45, an integral protein constituent of the skeletal muscle SR junctional face membrane, interacts with Ca v 1.1 and the luminal calcium-binding protein calsequestrin (30,31). Ca v 1.1 and JP45 form a complex that is down-regulated during aging and may contribute to decayed muscle strength and physical disability in the elderly (31,32).…”
