Abstract excerpt
Suppressive effects of DUSP6 in tumorigenesis and EMT-associated properties were observed. Dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP6) is a MAP kinase phosphatase (MKP) negatively regulating the activity of ERK, one of the major molecular switches in the MAPK signaling cascade propagating the signaling responses during malignancies. The impact of DUSP6 in EMT and its contribution to tumor dissemination has not yet been...
