Or binding regions will remain normal receptor and the protein will maintain its affinity.
Your question is rather vague and therefore it is difficult to respond.
If I picked up the meaning of your question, I would respond yes, citing for example various components of the extracellular matrix in normal versus neoplastic cell migration.

I refer specifically to proteins such as neuroligin , showing regions that serve to form contact neurexin . But for the remodeling process they are cut and the extracellular region is released . This extracellular region may be a ligand to another receptor, or whenever you cut will be the same regions that are exposed ?
Dear Maurizio,
I am not at all a specialist in neuroligin / neurexin area, but I actually think that the cutting of a protein will change its affinity for various ligands, e.g. decreasing the affinity of the protein for the full ligand and making it appearing affinity for new "ligands" (maybe not "receptors" in sensu stricto).
Ciao
Robert
