The receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTPRσ) regulates axonal regeneration/sprouting as a molecular switch in response to glycan ligands. Cell surface heparan sulfate oligomerizes PTPRσ and inactivates its enzymatic activity, which in turn promotes axonal growth. In contrast, matrix-associated chondroitin sulfate monomerizes PTPRσ and activates it. This leads to dephosphorylation of its specific substrates, such as cortactin, resulting in a failure of axonal regeneration after injury. However, this molecular switch m
