Description
SPMAP2L (sperm microtubule associated protein 2 like) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12q24.33. It is predicted to be involved in microtubule-associated processes, particularly in sperm function. The gene is expressed in testis and other tissues, and its protein product may play a role in spermatogenesis or flagellar function. Limited functional studies are available, and its clinical significance is still under investigation.
