Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 70686 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphoprotein phosphatase activity; protein carrier chaperone; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in dephosphorylation; negative regulation of MAPK cascade; and signal transduction. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DUSP16 (dual specificity phosphatase 16). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit complete neonatal lethality and decreased birth weight.
