what is phosphatase?

What is phosphatase?

=>Phosphatases are enzymes that hydrolyze phosphate groups from a wide variety of organic substrates (phosphate esters), producing an alcohol and phosphoric acid. They are found in all cells and usually are classified as either acid phosphatases or alkaline phosphatases.  Phosphatases can be studied in crude cellular extracts or in pure form.
