E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a negative regulator of many signaling pathways by mediating ubiquitination of cell surface receptors (PubMed:10514377, PubMed:11896602, PubMed:14661060, PubMed:14739300, PubMed:15190072, PubMed:17509076, PubMed:18374639, PubMed:19689429, PubMed:21596750, PubMed:28381567, PubMed:40101708). Accepts ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and then transfers it to substrates promoting their degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:10514377, PubMed:14661060, PubMed:14739300, PubMed:17094949, PubMed:17509076, PubMed:17974561). Recognizes activated receptor tyrosine kinases, including KIT, FLT1, FGFR1, FGFR2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, CSF1R, EPHA8 and KDR and mediates their ubiquitination to terminate signaling (PubMed:15190072, PubMed:18374639, PubMed:21596750). Recognizes membrane-bound HCK, SRC and other kinases of the SRC family and mediates their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:11896602). Ubiquitinates EGFR and SPRY2 (PubMed:17094949, PubMed:17974561). Involved in LAG3-mediated inhibition of TCR signaling: following ligand-binding to LAG3, catalyzes 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of LAG3, unleashing the LAG3 C-terminus from the membrane, and initiating a signaling that prevents TCR activation (PubMed:40101708). Ubiquitinates NECTIN1 following association between NECTIN1 and herpes simplex virus 1/HHV-1 envelope glycoprotein D, leading to NECTIN1 removal from cell surface (PubMed:28381567). Participates in signal transduction in hematopoietic cells. Plays an important role in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation and apoptosis (PubMed:15190072, PubMed:18374639). Essential for osteoclastic bone resorption (PubMed:14739300). The 'Tyr-731' phosphorylated form induces the activation and recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase to the cell membrane in a signaling pathway that is critical for osteoclast function (PubMed:14739300). In association with CBLB, required for proper feedback inhibition of ciliary platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) signaling pathway via ubiquitination and internalization of PDGFRA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P22682, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10514377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11896602, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14661060, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14739300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15190072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17094949, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17509076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17974561, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18374639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19689429, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21596750, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28381567, ECO:0000269|PubMed:40101708}.

In 11 of 15 cancers, the evidence for CBL comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.4644100069999695 (upper bound 0.5954200029373169). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
