CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CMTM2gene.[1]
This gene belongs to the chemokine-like factor gene superfamily, a novel family that links the chemokine and the transmembrane 4 superfamilies of signaling molecules. The protein encoded by this gene may play an important role in testicular development.[1]
