Summary: Predicted to enable protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including female pronucleus assembly; negative regulation of oocyte maturation; and regulation of phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in early embryo; olfactory epithelium; and ovary. Orthologous to human WEE2 (WEE2 oocyte meiosis inhibiting kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

WEE1B acts as a direct downstream substrate of protein kinase A (PKA) and that Ser 15 of WEE1B is a potential PKA phosphorylation target in the G2/M transition of mouse embryos.
Title: Ser 15 of WEE1B is a potential PKA phosphorylation target in G2/M transition in one-cell stage mouse embryos.
findings demonstrate that exit from metaphase requires not only a proteolytic degradation of cyclin B but also the inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdc2 by Wee1B
Title: Protein tyrosine kinase Wee1B is essential for metaphase II exit in mouse oocytes.
Wee1B is a key maturation-promoting-factor inhibitory kinase in mouse oocytes, functions downstream of PKA, and is required for maintaining meiotic arrest.
Title: Wee1B is an oocyte-specific kinase involved in the control of meiotic arrest in the mouse.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
