Laforin, encoded by the "EPM2A" gene, is a protein mutated in patients with Lafora disease. It contains a dual specificity phosphatase domain (DSP) and a carbohydrate binding module subtype 20 [http://www.cazy.org/fam/acc_CBM.html] (CBM20). Its physiological substrate has yet to be identified and the molecular mechanisms in which mutated laforin causes Lafora disease is unknown.
