Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase Chk1.
Binds to and phosphorylates CDC25A, CDC25B and CDC25C. Phosphorylation of CDC25A in'Ser-178' and'Thr-507' and phosphorylation of CDC25C in'Ser-216' creates binding sites for 14-3-3 proteins that inhibit CDC25A and CDC25C.

Expressed ubiquitously with the most abundant expression in thymus, testis, small intestine and colon.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Nuclear export is mediated at least in part by XPO1/CRM1. Also localizes to the centrosome specifically during interphase, where it may protect centrosomal CDC2 kinase from inappropriate activation by cytoplasmic CDC25B.
