Structure

MAP Kinase Phosphatase 1 is a Dual-specificity phosphatases. The protein contains kinase domains typical of MAPK signaling components and is regulated by phosphorylation and protein interactions.

Normal Function

MKP1 is a dual-specificity phosphatase that dephosphorylates and inactivates ERK, JNK, and p38 MAP kinases. MKP1 is an immediate-early gene induced by stress and glucocorticoids. It provides negative feedback to MAPK signaling and protects [neurons](/entities/neurons) from stress-induced [apoptosis](/entities/apoptosis).

Role in Disease

Reduced DUSP1 expression is observed in AD brains. Dysregulated MKP1 may contribute to neurodegeneration.

Therapeutic Targeting

Experimental compounds to modulate MKP1 activity are under investigation.
