background:
Dual specificity phosphatases (DSPs) are a subclass of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) gene superfamily, which are selective for dephosphorylating critical phosphothreonine and phosphotyrosine residues within MAP kinases. DSP gene expression is induced by a host of growth factors and/or cellular stresses, thereby negatively regulating MAP kinase superfamily members. DUSP28 is a 176 amino acid protein that belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family and non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily. Containing one tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain, DUSP28 is encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 2, which consists of 237 million bases, encodes over 1,400 genes and makes up approximately 8% of the human genome. A number of genetic diseases are linked to genes on chromosome 2, including Harlequin icthyosis, sitosterolemia and Alstr鰉 syndrome.
Function:
DUSP28 belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily. It contains one tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily.
Contains 1 tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain.
