About Aurka

Primary_assembly 3: 161,128,313-161,144,390 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026976.1

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 236 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 24 phenotypes. Biased expression in Adrenal (RPKM 261.), Liver (RPKM 143.3) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in protein phosphorylation and response to estradiol. Located in centrosome and spindle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; ovarian cancer; and uterine Cancer. Orthologous to human AURKA (Aurora Kinase A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
