Receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase β (RPTPβ) shows structural and functional
similarity to cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). It binds to several neuronal CAMs and
extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that combine to form cell-recognition complexes. Here,
the authors discuss the implications of such complexes for intercellular signaling, and the
regulation of RPTP activity by cell–cell and cell–ECM contact.
