Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97477}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97477}. Cell projection, neuron projection {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97477}. Note=Detected at the neurite hillock in developing neurons (By similarity) . Localizes at the centrosome in mitotic cells from early prophase until telophase, but also localizes to the spindle pole MTs from prophase to anaphase (PubMed:9606188, PubMed:17229885, PubMed:21225229) . Colocalized with SIRT2 at centrosome (PubMed:22014574) . Moves to the midbody during both telophase and cytokinesis (PubMed:17726514) . Associates with both the pericentriolar material (PCM) and centrioles (PubMed:22014574) . The localization to the spindle poles is regulated by AAAS (PubMed:26246606) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17726514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21225229, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22014574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26246606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9606188}

Molecular Weight: 45809

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: AURKA

Gene ID: 6790

Function: Mitotic serine/threonine kinase that contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression (PubMed:26246606, PubMed:12390251, PubMed:18615013, PubMed:11039908, PubMed:17125279, PubMed:17360485) . Associates with the centrosome and the spindle microtubules during mitosis and plays a critical role in various mitotic events including the establishment of mitotic spindle, centrosome duplication, centrosome separation as well as maturation, chromosomal alignment, spindle assembly checkpoint, and cytokinesis (PubMed:26246606, PubMed:14523000) . Required for normal spindle positioning during mitosis and for the localization of NUMA1 and DCTN1 to the cell cortex during metaphase (PubMed:27335426) . Required for initial activation of CDK1 at centrosomes (PubMed:13678582, PubMed:15128871) . Phosphorylates numerous target proteins, including ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, CDC25B, DLGP5, HDAC6, KIF2A, LATS2, NDEL1, PARD3, PPP1R2, PLK1, RASSF1, TACC3, p53/TP53 and TPX2 (PubMed:18056443, PubMed:15128871, PubMed:14702041, PubMed:11551964, PubMed:15147269, PubMed:15987997, PubMed:17604723, PubMed:18615013) . Regulates KIF2A tubulin depolymerase activity (PubMed:19351716) . Important for microtubule formation and/or stabilization (PubMed:18056443) . Required for normal axon formation (PubMed:19812038) . Plays a role in microtubule remodeling during neurite extension (PubMed:19668197) . Also acts as a key regulatory component of the p53/TP53 pathway, and particularly the checkpoint- response pathways critical for oncogenic transformation of cells, by phosphorylating and destabilizing p53/TP53 (PubMed:14702041) . Phosphorylates its own inhibitors, the protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) isoforms, to inhibit their activity (PubMed:11551964) . Necessary for proper cilia disassembly prior to mitosis (PubMed:17604723, PubMed:20643351) . Regulates protein levels of the anti-apoptosis protein BIRC5 by suppressing the expression of the SCF (FBXL7) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase substrate adapter FBXL7 through the phosphorylation of the transcription factor FOXP1 (PubMed:28218735) .
