Protein-coding gene in humans From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dual specificity protein phosphatase 16 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DUSP16 gene.[5][6][7][8]
The activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades transduces various extracellular signals to the nucleus to induce gene expression, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. For full activation of MAPKs, dual-specificity kinases phosphorylate both threonine and tyrosine residues in MAPK TXY motifs. MKPs are dual-specificity phosphatases that dephosphorylate the TXY motif, thereby negatively regulating MAPK activity.[supplied by OMIM][8]

Interactions
DUSP16 has been shown to interact with MAPK14[9][10] and MAPK8IP1.[11]
