Abstract excerpt
CBLB was evaluated as a candidate gene for type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility based on its association with autoimmunity in animal models and its role in T-cell costimulatory signaling. Cblb is one of the two major diabetes predisposing loci in the Komeda diabetes-prone (KDP) rat. Cbl-b, a ubiquitin ligase, couples TCR-mediated stimulation with the requirement for CD28 costimulation, regulating T-cell...
