E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Specifically ubiquitinates 'Lys-63' in target proteins (PubMed:23644597, PubMed:21399620, PubMed:19920177). Involved in the pathway leading to the degradation of VEGFR-2/KDFR, independently of its ubiquitin-ligase activity. Monoubiquitinates IGF1R at multiple sites, thus leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes (By similarity). Ubiquitinates FGFR1, leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes (PubMed:21765395). Promotes ubiquitination of RAPGEF2 (PubMed:11598133). According to PubMed:18562292 the direct link between NEDD4 and PTEN regulation through polyubiquitination described in PubMed:17218260 is questionable. Involved in ubiquitination of ERBB4 intracellular domain E4ICD (By similarity). Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development (By similarity). Ubiquitinates TNK2 and regulates EGF-induced degradation of EGFR and TNF2 (PubMed:20086093). Ubiquitinates BRAT1 and this ubiquitination is enhanced in the presence of NDFIP1 (PubMed:25631046). Ubiquitinates DAZAP2, leading to its proteasomal degradation (PubMed:11342538). Ubiquitinates POLR2A (PubMed:19920177). Functions as a platform to recruit USP13 to form an NEDD4-USP13 deubiquitination complex that plays a critical role in cleaving the 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin chains of VPS34 and then stabilizing VPS34, thus promoting the formation of autophagosomes (PubMed:32101753).
