Gene Information
Gene Official Full Name	EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforinprovided by HGNC
Also known as	EPM2; MELF; MELF2
Gene Description	This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]
Expression	Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 6.9), kidney (RPKM 4.5) and 24 other tissues See more
