CBL-B is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that in humans is encoded by the CBLB gene. [5] [6] CBLB is a member of the CBL gene family.
CBL-B functions as a negative regulator of T-cell activation. [7] CBL-B expression in T cells causes ligand-induced T cell receptor down-modulation, controlling the activation degree of T cells during antigen presentation. [8] [9]
Mutation of the CBLB gene has been associated with autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes. [10] [11]
CBLB has been shown to interact with:
