Motile sperm domain-containing protein 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q9CWP6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Endoplasmic reticulum-anchored protein that mediates the formation of contact sites between the endoplasmic (ER) and endosomes, mitochondria or Golgi through interaction with conventional- and phosphorylated-FFAT-containing organelle-bound proteins. In addition, forms endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-lipid droplets (LDs) contacts through a direct protein-membrane interaction and participates in LDs homeostasis. The attachment mechanism involves an amphipathic helix that has an affinity for lipid packing defects present at the surface of LDs. Promotes migration of primary monocytes and neutrophils, in response to various chemokines.
