※ SSH family introduction

    Slingshot is a family of DUSP protein phosphatase and contains three members in human genome, which are known as SSH1, SSH2 and SSH3. SSH phosphatase mainly functions as regulators of actin filament dynamics through dephosphorylating cofilin. Dephosphorylation of cofilin stimulates its activity and then cofilin binds to F-Actin, stimulates F-actin depolymerization and severing (1). In addition, SSH phosphatase and LIMK play an important role in directing cell migration (2).
