HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

WEE kinase family

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	is likely a conserved oocyte-specific meiosis inhibitor that functions downstream of cAMP in nonhuman primates
	responsible for phosphorylating the CDK1 inhibitory site and maintaining meiotic arrest in oocytes
	responsible for human fertilization failure

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	CAMK2A activates WEE2, and CAMK2A-driven exit from metaphase II is inhibited by WEE2 down-regulation
	WEE2 acts as a direct downstream substrate of protein kinase A (PRKACA)
