▪ Abstract 

The complete sequencing of the human genome is generating many novel targets for drug discovery. Understanding the pathophysiological roles of these putative targets and assessing their suitability for therapeutic intervention has become the major hurdle for drug discovery efforts. The dual-specificity phosphatases (DSPases), which dephosphorylate serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues in the same protein substrate, have important roles in multiple signaling pathways and appear to be deregulated in cancer and Alzheimer's disease. We examine the potential of DSPases as new molecular therapeutic targets for the treatment of human disease.
