Intentions for Edit of Phosphatase Article

I want to improve and expound upon the following aspects of the enzyme phosphatase:

  • Write a more detailed general description of the enzyme that addresses its general function, what class of enzymes it belongs to, and a brief overview of its roles in the body.
  • Explore the general catalytic mechanism of phosphatase.
  • Address significant aspects of physiological relevance
  • Write in greater detail about 3 major types of phosphatase, including definition, mechanism, and physiological relevance. Briefly discuss sub-classes.
    • Protein phosphatase
      • Mechanism
      • Subtypes: Ser/Thr, His, metallo-dependent
      • Role in signal transduction cascades, protein regulation,
    • Alkaline phosphatase
      • Mechanism
      • Roles in digestion, agriculture, cancer
    • Alkaline phosphatase
      • Mechanism
      • Roles in intestinal homeostatis, liver/bone/kidney, and developmental biology
  • Briefly overview significant uses of phosphatase inhibitors in drugs
