Kinase enzymes remove phosphate groups from proteins.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Kinase enzymes remove phosphate groups from proteins?

No. Multiple reference and textbook sources state that kinases add phosphate groups to proteins (phosphorylation), while phosphatases are the enzymes that remove phosphate groups (dephosphorylation). The claim reverses these roles, so the evidence refutes it.
