kinases

Example:Dephosphorylases and kinases work together to maintain the dynamic balance of phosphorylation in cellular processes.

Definition:A class of enzymes that catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from substrates, effectively reversing the action of kinases.

Example:Adenosine dephosphorylases play a crucial role in energy homeostasis by rapidly breaking down ATP to AMP (adenosine monophosphate).

Definition:A subset of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from adenine derivatives, including ATP, effective in reversing the high-energy state created by kinases.

Example:Hydrolases such as phosphatases function to hydrolyze and dephosphorylate their substrates, effectively terminating the effects of kinases.

Definition:A broad class of enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of molecules by means of the addition of water, which can involve the removal of phosphate groups from substrates, thus counteracting the function of kinases.
