| Research Abstract |
MAP kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) is an archetypal member of the dual-specificity protein phosphatase (DUSP) family, which inactivates JNK through dephosphorylation. Our findings indicate that over-expression of MKP-1 could suppress neuronal death through regulating JNK signaling and be a prominent neuroprotective target for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.
