GlycoErase™ EPM2A Knockout Jurkat Cell Line

GlycoErase™ EPM2A knockout Jurkat cell line eliminates EPM2A, encoding a dual-specificity phosphatase involved in glycogen regulation. Mutations in EPM2A are associated with Lafora disease, a neurodegenerative disorder. This knockout model supports research into glycogen regulation, Lafora body formation, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, with applications in glycogen metabolism and neurobiology.

6q24.3

This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen.
