Using RNA in situ hybridization we compared the expression patterns of the cell adhesion molecule-like receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatases LAR, RPTP sigma and RPTP sigma during mouse development. We found that LAR is expressed in basal lamina-associated epithelial tissues of (neuro)ectodermal, neural crest/ectomesenchyme and endodermal origin. RPTP sigma is found in (neuro)ectodermal, neural crest-derived systems and in mesoderm-derived tissues. The expression pattern of RPTP sigma largely parallels that of RPTP sigma, in concordance with their proposed evolutionary history

Fat accumulation, de novo lipogenesis, and glycolysis are key drivers of hepatocyte reprogramming and the consequent metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Here we report that obesity leads to dysregulated expression of hepatic protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). PTPRK was found to be increased in steatotic hepatocytes in both humans and mice, and correlates positively with PPARγ-induced lipogenic signaling.

The precise organization of pre- and postsynaptic terminals is crucial for normal synaptic function in the brain. In addition to its canonical role as a neurotrophin-3 receptor tyrosine kinase, postsynaptic TrkC promotes excitatory synapse organization through interaction with presynaptic receptor-type tyrosine phosphatase PTPσ. To isolate the synaptic organizer function of TrkC from its role as a neurotrophin-3 receptor, we generated mice carrying TrkC point mutations that selectively abolish PTPσ binding.

Neural degeneration is a hallmark of spinal cord injury (SCI). Multipotent neural precursor cells (NPCs) have the potential to reconstruct the damaged neuron-glia network due to their tri-lineage capacity to generate neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. However, astrogenesis is the predominant fate of resident or transplanted NPCs in the SCI milieu adding to the abundant number of resident astrocytes in the lesion.

Plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs) are a prevalent and severe phenotype associated with NF1, characterized by a high teratogenic rate and potential for malignant transformation. The growth and recurrence of PNFs are attributed to aberrant proliferation and migration of Nf1-deficient Schwann cells. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor S (PTPRS) is believed to modulate cell migration and invasion by inhibiting the EMT process in NF1-derived malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) causes spastic paralysis by inhibiting neurotransmission in spinal inhibitory interneurons. TeNT binds to the neuromuscular junction, leading to its internalisation into motor neurons and subsequent transcytosis into interneurons. While the extracellular matrix proteins nidogens are essential for TeNT binding, the molecular composition of its receptor complex remains unclear.
