GO:0004721 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.
  Synonym: Exact: phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase activity
      protein phosphatase activity
    Narrow: protein phosphatase-1 activity
      protein phosphatase-2A activity
