DUSP2 - dual specificity phosphatase 2 Gene
Also Known as PAC1; PAC-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About DUSP2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 169 orthologues and 30 paralogues. Biased expression in bone marrow (RPKM 49.4), lymph node (RPKM 22.5) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the dual specificity protein Phosphatase subfamily. These phosphatases inactivate their target kinases by dephosphorylating both the phosphoserine/threonine and phosphotyrosine residues. They negatively regulate members of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase superfamily (MAPK/ERK, SAPK/JNK, p38), which are associated with cellular proliferation and differentiation. Different members of the family of dual specificity phosphatases show distinct substrate specificities for various MAP kinases, different tissue distribution and subcellular localization, and different modes of inducibility of their expression by extracellular stimuli. This gene product inactivates ERK1 and ERK2, is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic tissues, and is localized in the nucleus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
