Laforin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laforin, encoded by the EPM2A gene, is a protein mutated in patients with Lafora disease. It contains a dual specificity phosphatase domain (DSP) and a carbohydrate binding module subtype 20[1] (CBM20). Its physiological substrate has yet to be identified and the molecular mechanisms in which mutated laforin causes Lafora disease is unknown.
