DUSP9, a Dual-Specificity Phosphatase with a Key Role in Cell Biology and Human Diseases

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are essential for proper cell functioning as they regulate many molecular effectors. Careful regulation of MAPKs is therefore required to avoid MAPK pathway dysfunctions and pathologies. The mammalian genome encodes about 200 phosphatases, many of which deph...
