Abstract
Background: PTPα has been implicated in breast cancer, but its function remains to be defined. Results: Suppression of PTPα led to a GRB7-dependent, ErbB2-mediated increase in mammary epithelial cell migration. PTPα dephosphorylated FAK on Tyr-407. Conclusion: PTPα functions to suppress ErbB2 signaling events that lead to migration of breast cancer cells. Significance: PTPα may play positive or negative roles in signaling, depending upon context.
