PTPRD is a receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase. Recent analyses of comprehensive mutations and copy numbers have revealed that PTPRD is frequently mutated and homozygously deleted in various types of cancer, including glioblastoma, melanoma, breast and colon cancer. However, the molecular functions of PTPRD in cancer progression have yet to be elucidated. Herein, PTPRD suppressed colon cancer cell migration and was required for appropriate cell-cell adhesion. In addition, PTPRD regulated ...[more]
