Anti-CBL antibody [YE315] (ab32425)

Function

Participates in signal transduction in hematopoietic cells. Adapter protein that functions as a negative regulator of many signaling pathways that start from receptors at the cell surface. Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, which accepts ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and then transfers it to substrates promoting their degradation by the proteasome. Recognizes activated receptor tyrosine kinases, including PDGFA, EGF and CSF1, and terminates signaling.

Pathway

Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Involvement in disease

Defects in CBL are the cause of Noonan syndrome-like disorder (NSL) [MIM:613563]. NSL is a syndrome characterized by a phenotype reminiscent of Noonan syndrome. Clinical features are highly variable, including facial dysmorphism, short neck, developmental delay, hyperextensible joints and thorax abnormalities with widely spaced nipples. The facial features consist of triangular face with hypertelorism, large low-set ears, ptosis, and flat nasal bridge. Some patients manifest cardiac defects.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 Cbl-PTB (Cbl-type phosphotyrosine-binding) domain.
Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
Contains 1 UBA domain.

Domain

The RING-type zinc finger domain mediates binding to an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme.
The N-terminus is composed of the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain, a short linker region and the RING-type zinc finger. The PTB domain, which is also called TKB (tyrosine kinase binding) domain, is composed of three different subdomains: a four-helix bundle (4H), a calcium-binding EF hand and a divergent SH2 domain.

Post-translational
modifications

Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by EGFR, SYK, FYN and ZAP70 (By similarity). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by INSR.

Cellular localization

Cytoplasm.
