gene: lip-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable MAP kinase tyrosine phosphatase activity; MAP kinase tyrosine/serine/threonine phosphatase activity; and protein tyrosine/threonine phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; positive regulation of vulval development; and vulval cell fate specification. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P5.p hermaphrodite; P8.p hermaphrodite; and germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 19 with or without anosmia. Is an ortholog of human DUSP6 (dual specificity phosphatase 6) and DUSP7 (dual specificity phosphatase 7).
