| phosphoprotein | <protein> Proteins that contain phosphate groups esterified to serine, threonine or tyrosine (s, T or Y). The phosphate group usually regulates protein function. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| phosphoprotein phosphatase | <enzyme> A group of enzymes removing the serine- or threonine-bound phosphate groups from a wide range of phosphoproteins, including a number of enzymes which have been phosphorylated under the action of a kinase. (enzyme nomenclature, 1992) Chemical name: Phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.1.3.16 (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein | <protein> A 46/50 kD protein that is a substrate for both cAMP and cGMP dependent protein kinases and that is associated with microfilament bundles in many tissue cells. Abundant in platelets, phosphorylation of VASP will inhibit platelet activation. (18 Nov 1997) |
