Sperm flagellar protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPEF2 gene.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

SPEF2 plays an important role in spermatogenesis and flagellar assembly.^[5] SPEF2 is expressed in all ciliated cells and is required for cilia function.^[5]^[6] Sperm contain cilia, and a mutation in the SPEF2 gene can cause male infertility due to immobile sperm.^[5]^[6] In a pig animal model, a SPEF2 mutation affects the sperm tail development.^[6] And a loss of function mutation in SPEF2 in mice causes the big giant head phenotype.^[5] SPEF2 mRNA and protein products are localized in germ and sertoli cells.^[6] Within these cells, SPEF2 is localized in the golgi complex, manchette, basal body and mid piece of the sperm tail.^[6] SPEF2 has been shown to interact with the intracellular transport protein IFT20 in the testis.^[6]
