Dusp9 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables MAP kinase tyrosine/serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of MAPK cascade. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DUSP9 (dual specificity phosphatase 9).

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 mouse Dusp9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
