PTPN12 and breast carcinoma: Lee et al. demonstrate that CD99 activation by agonist ligands inhibits epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced EGFR dimerization through impairment of cytoskeletal reorganization by protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 12 (PTPN12)-dependent c-Src/focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inactivation, thereby suppressing breast cancer growth.
