EPM2B is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the regulation of various cellular processes. It plays a crucial role in the development and function of the nervous system, particularly in the formation of synapses, which are essential for communication between neurons. Mutations in the EPM2B gene can lead to neurological disorders, highlighting its importance in maintaining brain health. Research on EPM2B has implications for understanding conditions such as epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists study this gene to uncover its functions and potential therapeutic targets, aiming to develop treatments that could mitigate the effects of related disorders.
