This DUSP3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 157-185 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human DUSP3.
DUSP3 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 are 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. The gene for this protein maps in a region that contains the BRCA1 locus which confers susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer.
