In mice, two transcripts of <em>Cdc25B</em> are generated by the alternative splicing of one gene. We compared the properties of these two forms of CDC25B. When the expression pattern of <em>Cdc25B</em> was examined using RT-PCR, both forms were detected in almost all mouse tissues tested. The expression of two forms of the CDC25B protein in various mouse tissues was confirmed using Western blotting with generated isoform specific antibodies. CDC25B1 tends to accumulate more in the cytosol than CDC25B2 does, and they have different binding capacity for 14-3-3 proteins. CDC25B1 was more effective in dephosphorylating <em>in vitro</em> substrate para-nitrophenyl phosphate and showed higher activity in the modified histone H1 kinase assay than CDC25B2. These results suggest that the two forms of CDC25B play different roles in cell cycle regulation.</p><p><strong>DOI:</strong> <a href="http://doiserbia.nb.rs/Article.aspx?id=0354-46641600062K" target="_blank">10.2298/ABS160315062K</a></p><p><strong>Received:</strong> March 15, 2016; <strong>Revised:</strong> April 17, 2016; <strong>Accepted:</strong> April 19, 2016; <strong>Published online:</strong> July 28, 2016</p><p><strong>How to cite this article:</strong> How to cite this article: Kang MK, Bang A, Choi HO, Han SJ.
