SPATA2L (Spermatogenesis-associated protein 2-like) is a protein related to SPATA2, which is known to regulate cell death and inflammation pathways. Although the precise role of SPATA2L remains under investigation, it is believed to be involved in key cellular processes such as apoptosis, autophagy, and the regulation of immune responses. SPATA2L may affect crucial signalling pathways that govern cell survival and death, contributing to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and protection against stressors like DNA damage or infection.
