The number of unique kinases and phosphatases reported to phosphorylate sites in the database is included. For some databases, these numbers include enzyme groups in addition to individual enzymes. Data type indicates whether the data are from mass spectrometry (MS) experiments, separated high-throughput (HT) and low-throughput (LT) experiments, or whether the database combines data from both HT and LT experiments without specifying (UNSP)
