Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs) are typically implicated in cancer biology. Here, we show that MRP9 and MRP5 localize to mitochondrial-associated membranes and play a concerted role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and male reproductive fitness. Our work fills in significant gaps in our understanding of MRP9 and MRP5 with wider implications in male fertility. It is plausible that variants in these transporters are associated with male reproductive dysfunction.
