Abstract
Protein phosphatases are important for the maintenance of functional activity of many proteins. Phosphorylation of proteins by protein kinases is a common posttranslational modification that modulates the signaling capability of the target polypeptides. Neurotransmitter receptors, which belong to the super-family of GTP (G) protein-coupled receptors, are uncoupled from their signaling pathway(s) after phosphorylation by receptor-specific protein kinases.
