Modulation of functional properties of laforin phosphatase by alternative splicing reveals a novel mechanism for the EPM2A gene in Lafora progressive myoclonus epilepsy.

abstract：:Lysosomal neuraminidase (sialidase) occurs in a high molecular weight complex with the glycosidase beta-galactosidase and the serine carboxypeptidase protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA). Association of the enzyme with PPCA is crucial for its correct targeting and lysosomal activation. In man two genetically distinct...
