(Epilepsy, Progressive Myoclonus Type 2A, Lafora Disease (Laforin) (EPM2A))
EPM2A is a dual specificity protein phosphatase. It may be involved in the control of glycogen metabolism, particularly in monitoring for and preventing the formation of poorly branched glycogen molecules (polyglucosans). Defects in EPM2A are a cause of Lafora disease (LD), also known as myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora (MELF) or epilepsy progressive myoclonic 2 (EPM2). LD is the most common and severe form of adolescent-onset progressive epilepsy.Synonyms: EC=3.1.3.16, EC=3.1.3.48, EPM2A, LAFPTPase, Lafora PTPase, Laforin
