[edit] Metallophosphatases
The metalloenzymes by far comprise the greatest bulk of phosphatases, and contain such enzymes as alkaline phosphatase (three metal ions, only two of which are catalytically active), the serine threonine phosphatases and inositol monophosphatase (a key enzyme in manic depression).
The enzyme is found in lysosomes, and is used to dispose of unwanted RNA as well as generally maintain order within the cell. Other enzymes found in lysosomes include proteases.

[edit] Protein Phosphatase
I have incorporated Protein_Phosphatase into this one.

Note: proteins and lipids are not the only substrates of phosphotases - many phosphorylated compounds exist as potential targets, including nucleoside triphosphates as well as sugars to name two. Someone should expand this article to account for this.
