MAP kinase phosphatase

Dual-specificity phosphatases have been recognized as key players for inactivating different map kinase isoforms; this class of phosphatases has been designated MAP Kinase phosphatases

On the basis of structures predicted from genomic sequence, the MKP's can readily be divided into subgroups (Table 1).
