Gene Information

human ... AURKA(6790)

General description

AURKA (aurora kinase A) is a centrosome-associated serine/threonine kinase which is associated with cell cycle checkpoint. It exhibits an inductive effect on the centrosome duplication-distribution abnormalities and aneuploidy in mammalian cells.

Immunogen

Serine/threonine-protein kinase 6 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

All the members of aurora family kinase play a pivotal role in the execution of cell division by participating in the formation of bipolar mitotic spindle, accurate segregation of chromosomes and the completion of cytokinesis. In mammals, AURKA (aurora kinase A) overexpression shows different chromosomal abnormalities, such as centrosome amplification, chromosomal transformation and instability. It helps in increasing centrosomal γ-tubulin and two other PCM (pericentriolar material) components, ZYG-9 (zygote defective protein 9) and Ce-Grip during entry of embryos into mitosis stage. AURKA is overexpressed in breast tumor cells and may associate with the oncogenic transformation. It has been reported that AURKA has clinical relationship with non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma as it is involved not only in disease activity but also in tumorigenesis of the disease.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The centrosomes are thought to maintain genomic stability through the establishment of bipolar spindles during cell division, ensuring equal segregation of replicated chromosomes to two daughter cells. Deregulated duplication and distribution of centrosomes have been implicated in chromosome segregation abnormalities
