cdc-25.1 encodes a CDC25 phosphatase homolog that affects embryonic viability, meiosis, mitosis, proliferation of the intestine (E cell lineage), and germ line proliferation; it is expressed in the developing germline, in the nuclei of oocytes, embryonic nuclei, nuclei of embryonic cortical membranes, and sperm pronuclei, and in the germline precursors Z2 and Z3.
Predicted to enable protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Involved in meiotic spindle organization and positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including Z2; Z3; germ line; oocyte; and sperm.
