An enzyme that catalyzes phosphorylation of a protein is called a an enzyme that catalyzes dephosphorylation of a protein is called a(n)

Answer;

-Kinase;  Phosphatase

Explanation;

An enzyme that catalyzes phosphorylation of a protein is called a kinase. An enzyme that catalyzes dephosphorylation of a protein is called a phosphatase.

-A kinase is an enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to a protein. A phosphatase is an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from a protein.

-A protein kinase is a kinase enzyme that modifies other proteins by chemically adding phosphate groups to them. Phosphorylation usually results in a functional change of the target protein by changing enzyme activity, cellular location, or association with other proteins.

-A phosphatase on the other hand, is an enzyme that uses water to cleave a phosphoric acid monoester into a phosphate ion and an alcohol.
