Wee1 Protein, Human (Active, sf9)
Wee1 Protein acts as a crucial negative regulator of the G2 to M transition, ensuring nuclear protection by phosphorylating CDK1 on 'Tyr-15' and inactivating the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex. Its peak activity in G2 phase decreases as cells progress into M phase, with dynamic regulation, increased phosphorylation during S and G2 phases, and diminished levels during M/G1 phase transition potentially due to degradation. Wee1 Protein, Human (sf9) is the recombinant human-derived Wee1 protein, expressed by sf9 insect cells , with tag free.

Biological Activity
Wee1 Protein acts as a crucial negative regulator of the G2 to M transition, ensuring nuclear protection by phosphorylating CDK1 on 'Tyr-15' and inactivating the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex. Its peak activity in G2 phase decreases as cells progress into M phase, with dynamic regulation, increased phosphorylation during S and G2 phases, and diminished levels during M/G1 phase transition potentially due to degradation. Wee1 Protein, Human (sf9) is the recombinant human-derived Wee1 protein, expressed by sf9 insect cells , with tag free.
Wee1 Protein functions as a critical negative regulator of the G2 to M transition, preventing entry into mitosis by safeguarding the nucleus from the activation of cytoplasmically bound cyclin B1-complexed CDK1. Through the phosphorylation of CDK1 on 'Tyr-15,' Wee1 specifically targets and inactivates the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex, with its activity peaking during the G2 phase and reaching a minimum as cells progress into M phase. Notably, Wee1's phosphorylation of cyclin B1-CDK1 occurs exclusively on 'Tyr-15,' while monomeric CDK1 remains unphosphorylated. Its activity undergoes dynamic regulation, increasing during S and G2 phases and diminishing at M phase, accompanied by hyperphosphorylation. Additionally, a correlated reduction in Wee1 protein levels occurs during the M/G1 phase transition, potentially attributed to its degradation.
