Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is eRK phosphorylation increased in papillary thyroid carcinomas with BRAF ( V600E ) mutation compared to that of corresponding normal thyroid tissues?
Answer: In human BRAF(V600E) (+) PTCs, ERK phosphorylation is decreased compared to normal thyroid glands and the observed decrease in ERK1/2 MAPK phosphorylation in BRAF(V600E) (+) PTCs may be associated with increased MKP-3 activity.
Output (English): no
