Spef2

Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain morphogenesis; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and sperm axoneme assembly. Located in Golgi apparatus; manchette; and sperm midpiece. Used to study primary ciliary dyskinesia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 43. Orthologous to human SPEF2 (sperm flagellar 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Spef2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
