- Description
- Predicted to enable protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within neuroinflammatory response; regulation of autophagy; and regulation of glycogen metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane; cytosol; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Orthologous to human EPM2A (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin).
