Motile sperm domain containing 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MOSPD2 gene.^[5] It is an endoplasmic reticulum–resident protein involved in membrane contact site formation.^[6] Its domain homologous to Major Sperm Protein (MSP domain) is very similar to VAPA/VAPB, so it has been described as the third human member of the VAP protein family.
