Gene information for EPM2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7957
Official gene symbolEPM2A
Full nameepilepsy, progressive myoclonus type 2A, Lafora disease (laforin)
Aliases,EPM2,MELF,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase that associates with polyribosomes. The encoded protein may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
