Dusp26 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; p53 binding activity; and phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and protein dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human DUSP26 (dual specificity phosphatase 26).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Dusp26 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
