Description Imported from IPR034584
This family represents homologues of Sperm microtubule inner protein 8 (SPMIP8, also known as Testis, prostate and placenta-expressed protein TEPP). SPMIP8 is an axonemal microtubule inner protein (MIP) part of the doublet microtubules (DMTs) in flagellum axoneme
[2]. SPMIP8 is specifically expressed in testis, prostate, and placenta, and might have a role in reproductive biology
[1].
