Summary: Enables histone H3S10 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 positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in axon hillock; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. 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, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001291185.2 → NP_001278114.1 aurora kinase A isoform b

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001278114.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice site in its 5' terminal exon, and it thus differs in its 5' UTR and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (b) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform a. Variants 2 and 4 both encode the same isoform (b).
