Dusp6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein tyrosine/serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; response to growth factor; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of brain ischemia and pancreatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 19 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human DUSP6 (dual specificity phosphatase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Dusp6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
