Description
EPM2A Monoclonal Antibody [P3F3AT] (CPAB0558)
The EPM2A Polyclonal Antibody (CPAB0558) is specifically designed for researchers studying EPM2A, a protein associated with Lafora disease, a rare form of progressive myoclonic epilepsy. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the EPM2A protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it an essential tool for studying the role of EPM2A in neurological disorders.EPM2A, also known as laforin, plays a crucial role in glycogen metabolism and the formation of Lafora bodies, abnormal structures found in the brains of individuals with Lafora disease.
Understanding the function of EPM2A is essential for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying this debilitating condition and developing targeted treatments. By using the EPM2A Polyclonal Antibody, researchers can gain valuable insights into the pathophysiology of Lafora disease and potentially identify novel therapeutic strategies for patients.
