Abstract excerpt
Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase T (PTPRT/PTPrho) is frequently mutated in human cancers including colon, lung, gastric, and skin cancers. More than half of the identified tumor-derived mutations are located in the extracellular part of PTPrho. However, the functional significance of those extracellular domain mutations remains to be defined. Here we report that the extracellular domain of PTPrho mediates...
