Product Specifications

Background

Aurora Kinase A, also known as serine/threonine-protein kinase 6, is part of the Aurora subfamily. Aurora Kinase A is a CPC (chromosomal passenger complex) protein. It plays a role in microtubule organization during mitosis e meiosis. It recruits several proteins required for mitotic spindle formation, such as kinesin 5 and γ-tubulin, and its interaction with the kinetochore. It has a pattern of expression and subcellular localization that varies with the cell cycle stage, in agreement with its role as cell cycle regulator. It has oncogenic activity and is overexpressed in cancer tissues like breast cancer and prostate cancer. Aurora Kinase A dysfunction contributes to the development of cancer in multiple ways, which include activating the NF-κB pathway, increasing anti-apoptotic factors (Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma 2, and MCL-1) and increase of EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition) related transcription factors. The use of inhibitors for Aurora Kinase A can support recovery in cases of cancer where drug resistance has occurred. Further studies will elucidate the exact mode of action of Aurora Kinase A in cancer development and progression and open new therapeutic avenues.
