Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables MAP kinase phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; negative regulation of epithelial cell migration; and negative regulation of epithelium regeneration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of MAPK cascade; negative regulation of respiratory burst involved in inflammatory response; and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DUSP10 (dual specificity phosphatase 10).
