B-type cyclin involved in cell cycle progression; activates Cdc28p to promote the transition from G2 to M phase; accumulates during G2 and M, then targeted via a destruction box motif for ubiquitin-mediated degradation by the proteasome; CLB2 has a paralog, CLB1, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000006323]
Chromosome XVI: 771,653-773,128 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006949.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 392 orthologues and 8 paralogues.
