Predicted to enable MAP kinase tyrosine/serine/threonine phosphatase activity and protein tyrosine/threonine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in dephosphorylation and negative regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DUSP16 (dual specificity phosphatase 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
