Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are a subclass of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that interact with and regulate mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). DUSPs can positively or negatively control immune responses in cancers, infectious diseases and inflammatory diseases, making them promising drug targets for immune-based disorders.
