| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in keratinocytes (at protein level). |
| Post Translational Modifications | Ubiquitinated by the SCF(FBXO31) complex, leading to its proteasomal degradation. |
| Function | Dual specificity protein phosphatase, which mediates dephosphorylation and inactivation of MAP kinases. Has a specificity for the ERK family. Plays an important role in alleviating chronic postoperative pain. Necessary for the normal dephosphorylation of the long-lasting phosphorylated forms of spinal MAPK1/3 and MAP kinase p38 induced by peripheral surgery, which drives the resolution of acute postoperative allodynia. Also important for dephosphorylation of MAPK1/3 in local wound tissue, which further contributes to resolution of acute pain. Promotes cell differentiation by regulating MAPK1/MAPK3 activity and regulating the expression of AP1 transcription factors. |
