Function

Has phosphatase activity with synthetic phosphatase substrates and negatively regulates mitogen-activated protein kinase activity, presumably by catalysing their dephosphorylation. Expected to display protein phosphatase activity toward phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non-receptor class dual specificity subfamily.

Tissue specificity

Abundant in brain, heart and skeletal muscle.
