Abstract

Proteins of the Cbl family are adaptor molecules and ubiquitin ligases with major functions in the regulation, intracellular transport and degradation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Due to this central role, mutations that cause malfunctions of Cbl or their associated proteins – termed the Cbl interactome – easily lead to the transformation of affected cells and eventually the development of cancer. This review intends to give an overview on the mechanisms of Cbl-mediated cell transformation in light of the dysregulated intracellular trafficking of RTKs.
