Moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in most cancers. Hepatocellular carcinomas and pancreatic cancers were strongly stained. Cervical, endometrial, and skin cancers were in general weakly stained or negative.

MKP-L, MKP6
Description
Dual specificity phosphatase 14 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) constitute a large heterogeneous subgroup of the type I cysteine-based protein-tyrosine phosphatase superfamily. DUSPs are characterized by their ability to dephosphorylate both tyrosine and serine/threonine residues. They have been implicated as major modulators of critical signaling pathways. DUSP14 contains the consensus DUSP C-terminal catalytic domain but lacks the N-terminal CH2 domain found in the MKP (mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase) class of DUSPs (see MIM 600714) (summary by Patterson et al., 2009 [PubMed 19228121]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2009]
