Cell Biology
Phosphatases are enzymes that remove phosphate groups from proteins, lipids, and other molecules, playing a critical role in cellular signaling and regulation. By dephosphorylating their substrates, phosphatases counteract the action of kinases, ensuring a balance between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in various cellular processes, including those related to membrane proteins and signaling pathways.
