The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Because a phosphatase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of its substrate, it is a subcategory of hydrolases.
- Phosphatase enzymes are essential to many biological functions, because phosphorylation and dephosphorylation serve diverse roles in cellular regulation and signaling.
- Whereas phosphatases remove phosphate groups from molecules, kinases catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups to molecules from ATP.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Phosphatase article was read about 10,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
