EPM2A (laforin), associated with PPP1R3C (protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3C, PTG) and phosphoglycogen-GYG2 in a cytosolic glycogen particle, catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphoglycogen (Tagliabracci et al. 2007). This reaction is inferred from the activity of EPM2A on phosphoglycogen-GYG1, and from the fact that in the absence of normal EPM2A activity, abnormally phosphorylated forms of both glycogen-GYG1 and glycogen-GYG2 accumulate in cells. The catalytically active form of EPM2A has been shown to be a homodimer (Raththagala et al. 2015; Sankhala et al. 2015).
