epitope corresponding to amino acids 81-260 mapping within an internal region of Laforin of human origin
Modification Notes
Laforin (Lafora PTPase) is a dual specificity protein phosphatase expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas and brain. It belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family and contains one CBM20 (carbohydrate binding type-20) domain and one tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain. Laforin may be involved in the control of glycogen metabolism, particularly in monitoring for and preventing the formation of poorly branched glycogen molecules (polyglucosans). Laforin isoform 1 is primarily associated with polyribosomes at the endoplasmic reticulum, however, it is also found at the plasma membrane. Isoform 2 can be found in the nucleus. Defects in the EPM2A gene are a cause of progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 2 (EPM2), also known as Lafora disease. EPM2 is an autosomal recessive disease and a severe form of adolescent-onset progressive epilepsy.
