					Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Dual specificity protein phosphatase 12  is an enzyme  that in humans  is encoded  by the DUSP12  gene .[ 5] [ 6]  
The protein  encoded by this gene is a member of the dual specificity protein phosphatase  subfamily. These phosphatases  inactivate their target kinases  by dephosphorylating  both the phosphoserine /threonine  and phosphotyrosine  residues. They negatively regulate members of the mitogen -activated protein (MAP ) kinase superfamily (MAPK/ERK , SAPK /JNK , p38), which is associated with cellular proliferation  and differentiation . 
Different members of the family of dual specificity phosphatases show distinct substrate specificities for various MAP kinases, different tissue distribution and subcellular localization , and different modes of inducibility of their expression by extracellular stimuli. 
This gene product is the human ortholog  of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae  YVH1 protein tyrosine phosphatase . It is localized predominantly in the nucleus, and is novel in that it contains, and is regulated by a zinc finger  domain.[ 6]
