It is a nerve terminal phosphoprotein that is dephosphorylated on nerve terminal stimulation by the calcium-dependent proteinphosphatase calcineurin and then rephosphorylated by cyclin-dependent kinase 5 on termination of the stimulus. Full article >>>
This results in different enzymes with the same function having the same basic name; they are therefore distinguished by other characteristics, such as their optimal pH (alkaline phosphatase) or their location (membrane ATPase). Full article >>>
