SPEF2

Required for correct axoneme development in spermatozoa. Important for normal development of the manchette and sperm head morphology. Essential for male fertility. Plays a role in localization of the intraflagellar transport protein IFT20 to the manchette, suggesting function as an adapter for dynein-mediated protein transport during spermatogenesis. Plays a role in bone growth where it seems to be required for normal osteoblast differentiation (By similarity). Required for normal beat frequency of tracheal epithelial cilia and oviduct cilia (By similarity)..
