Phosphatase removes the phosphate groups from protein molecules during the dephosphorylation process. As a result, a phosphatase can deactivate a protein that has been activated by a kinase. Dephosphorylation, however, cannot be reversed.

<h2>What is Phosphorylation?</h2>

It is a process in which a molecule gets attached to a phosphoryl group.

The opposite of the phosphorylation is dephosphorylation in which the molecule looses a phosphoryl group.
