The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the dual
specificity protein phosphatase subfamily. These phosphatases
inactivate their target kinases by dephosphorylating both the
phosphoserine/threonine and phosphotyrosine residues. They
negatively regulate members of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP)
kinase superfamily (MAPK/ERK, SAPK/JNK, p38), which is associated
with cellular proliferation and differentiation. Different members
of the family of dual specificity phosphatases show distinct
substrate specificities for various MAP kinases, different tissue
distribution and subcellular localization, and different modes of
inducibility of their expression by extracellular stimuli. This
gene product is the human ortholog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae
YVH1 protein tyrosine phosphatase. It is localized predominantly in
the nucleus, and is novel in that it contains, and is regulated by
a zinc finger domain.1) Biernacki, M.A., et al. Cancer Res. 70(3):906-915(2010)
