Certain receptor tyrosine kinases, such as epidermal growth factor receptor, have been shown to indirectly recruit Cbl through the adapter protein Grb2, leading to receptor ubiquitination and degradation."

"In order to study the role of Grb2 in c-Kit degradation, a series of mutations of the Grb2 binding sites in c-Kit were generated (Y703F, Y936F, and Y703F/Y936F). Since other...
