(biochemistry) The removal of phosphate groups from a compound, especially from a biological compound
The phospho-cysteine intermediate is then hydrolysed by another water molecule, thus regenerating the active site for another dephosphorylation reaction. Source: Internet
Protein dephosphorylation allows the cell to replenish phosphates through release of pyrophosphates which saves ATP use in the cell. citation An example of phosphorylating enzyme is found in E. coli bacteria. Source: Internet
Many enzymes and receptors are switched "on" or "off" by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Source: Internet
The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of these enzymes (ultimately in response to the glucose level in the blood) is the dominant manner by which these pathways are controlled in the liver, fat, and muscle cells. Source: Internet
