Description
This family includes the N-terminal regions of the junctin, junctate and aspartyl beta-hydroxylase proteins. Junctate is an integral ER/SR membrane calcium binding protein, which comes from an alternatively spliced form of the same gene that generates aspartyl beta-hydroxylase and junctin
[2]. Aspartyl beta-hydroxylase catalyses the post-translational hydroxylation of aspartic acid or asparagine residues contained within epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains of proteins
[1].
