"Pseudophosphatase MK-STYX Regulates Stress "

Protein tyrosine phosphatases regulate cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, apoptosis, etc. Their catalytically inactive members, pseudophosphatases, add complexity to their role in phosphorylation signaling. The pseudophosphatase MK-STYX (MAPK phosphoserine/threonine/tyrosine-binding protein) has become recognized as an important signaling regulator of the stress response.

Shantá Hinton is a cellular and molecular biologyist  who studies the protein phosphorylation signaling cascades that are critical regulators of cellular responses such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and cell death
