Abstract excerpt
The Wee1 protein tyrosine kinase is a key regulator of cell cycle progression. Wee1 activity is necessary for the control of the first embryonic cell cycle following the fertilization of meiotically mature Xenopus oocytes. Wee1 mRNA is present in immature oocytes, but Wee1 protein does not accumu...
