Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Motile sperm domain containing 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MOSPD2 gene . It is an endoplasmic reticulum –resident protein involved in membrane contact site formation. Its domain homologous to Major Sperm Protein (MSP domain) is very similar to VAPA /VAPB , so it has been described as the third human member of the VAP protein family .
