Gene:
dual specificity phosphatase 24 (putative)
Gene ID:
192773
Symbol:
DUSP24
Species:
1000
Description:
Probable pseudophosphatase. Contains a Ser residue instead of a conserved Cys residue in the dsPTPase catalytic loop which probably renders it catalytically inactive as a phosphatase. The binding pocket may be however sufficiently preserved to bind phosphorylated substrates, and maybe protect them from phosphatases.
