Dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) is a phosphatase enzyme that is encoded by the DUSP6 gene in humans.[5][6][7]

Function

[edit]

DUSP6 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.

DUSP6 inactivates ERK2 and is expressed in a variety of tissues with the highest levels in heart and pancreas and, unlike most other members of this family, is localized in the cytoplasm.

Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[5]

Interactions

[edit]

DUSP6 has been shown to interact with MAPK3.[8]
