Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) act by dephosphorylating tyrosine residues in different biomolecules and, therefore, their activity regulates the course of cellular processes physiologically essential. Dual-specificity PTPs (DUSPs) can dephosphorylate tyrosine and threonine/serine residues, thus acting on a greater variety of substrates and, consequently, being involved in several di…
