Transmembrane 202 protein (Homo sapiens, TMEM202) is encoded by the gene TMEM202 and is a member of the Claudin2 superfamily. Human paralogs include LIMP2, GSG1, CLDND2, NKG7. The specific function of TMEM202 has largely yet to be elucidated, but other Claudin2 superfamily proteins plays important roles in paracellular transport by contributing to the structure of gap junctions. In S. scrofa (wild boar), TMEM202 has been found to aid in sperm motility, fertilization, and spermatogenesis.
