About Aurka

Chromosome 2: 172,198,110-172,212,455 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000995.3

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 236 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 34 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver E14.5 (RPKM 39.2), liver E14 (RPKM 37.7) and 15 other tissues.

Summary

Enables histone serine kinase activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including microtubule Cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of oocyte maturation; and protein localization to centrosome. Located in axon hillock; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; brain; eye; and genitourinary system. 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]
