Dual Specificity Protein Phosphatase 26 (DUSP26) Reagents

Dual specificity protein phosphatase 26

Inactivates MAPK1 and MAPK3 which leads to dephosphorylation of heat shock factor protein 4 and a reduction in its DNA-binding activity. Inhibits MAP kinase p38 by dephosphorylating it and inhibits p38-mediated apoptosis in anaplastic thyroid cancer cells. Can also induce activation of MAP kinase p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Golgi apparatus.

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, Non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily

Brain. In the brain it is expressed ubiquitously except in the hippocampus. Expressed in embryonal cancers (retinoblastoma, neuroepithilioma and neuroblastoma) and in anaplatic thyroid cancer.
