dual specificity phosphatase 16(DUSP16) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase that 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. The encoded protein specifically regulates the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010],catalytic activity:A phosphoprotein + H(2)O = a protein + phosphate.,catalytic activity:Protein tyrosine phosphate + H(2)O = protein tyrosine + phosphate.,function:Involved in the inactivation of MAP kinases.,similarity:Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 rhodanese domain.,similarity:Contains 1 tyrosine-protein phosphatase domain.,
