• D)Some phosphatases and protein kinases in the pathway have numerous proteins as their substrates; others act on only a single protein substrate or a single amino acid of a protein substrate.
• E)Many of the protein substrates of the pathway enzymes are enzymes themselves,like other kinases and phosphatases,but they include ion channels,transcription factors and various regulatory molecules.
