Motile sperm domain-containing protein 2
Definition:
Endoplasmic reticulum-anchored receptor which modulates interorganelle contacts by interacting with other organelle-bound proteins via their FFAT motif. Might have a more important role in endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes contacts. Promotes migration of primary monocytes and neutrophils, in response to various chemokines.
