PANTHER Class Information 
| Name: | phosphoprotein phosphatase activity |
| Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: a phosphoprotein + H2O = a protein + phosphate. Together with protein kinases, these enzymes control the state of phosphorylation of cellular proteins and thereby provide an important mechanism for regulating cellular activity. |
