Abstract excerpt
Abstract The receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase T PTPrho is the most frequently mutated tyrosine phosphatase in human cancer. PTPrho mediates homophilic cell-cell aggregation. In its extracellular region, PTPrho has cell adhesion molecule-like motifs, including a MAM domain, an immunoglobulin domain, and four fibronectin type III (FNIII) repeats. Tumor-derived mutations have been identified in all of these...
