Function

Protein kinase that acts both on serines and on tyrosines. It acts as a dosage-dependent negative regulator of entry into mitosis (G2 to M transition). Phosphorylates and inhibits cdc2.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated in the C-terminal by NIM1/CDR1.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WEE1 subfamily.
