Gene information for AURKC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6795
Official gene symbolAURKC
Full nameaurora kinase C
Aliases,AIE2,AIK3,ARK3,AurC,STK13,aurora-C,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the Aurora subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein is a chromosomal passenger protein that forms complexes with Aurora-B and inner centromere proteins and may play a role in organizing microtubules in relation to centrosome/spindle function during mitosis. This gene is overexpressed in several cancer cell lines, suggesting an involvement in oncogenic signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
