phosphoprotein phosphatase activity

id: GO:0004721
name: phosphoprotein phosphatase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the reaction: a phosphoprotein + H2O = a protein + phosphate. Together with protein kinases, these enzymes control the state of phosphorylation of cell proteins and thereby provide an important mechanism for regulating cellular activity.
