Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase regulator activity. Involved in anterior/posterior axis specification, embryo; meiotic cell cycle; and oocyte maturation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of cyclin-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including in situ carcinoma; renal cell carcinoma; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CCNB1 (cyclin B1).

Note, this gene is not the same as cyb-2 which is now a secondary name for cyb-3 [020808 krb]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
