Catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,Caution:Although authors have considered STK6 and STK15 as two different proteins, it is clear that they are the same protein.,Disease:Defects in AURKA are responsible for numerical centrosome aberrations including aneuploidy.,Function:May play a role in cell cycle regulation during anaphase and/or telophase, in relation to the function of the centrosome/spindle pole region during chromosome segregation. May be involved in microtubule formation and/or stabilization. Phosphorylates ARHGEF2 and BORA.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Aurora subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subcellular location:Localizes on centrosomes in interphase cells and at each spindle pole in mitosis.,subunit:Interacts with TACC1 and CPEB1. Interacts with its substrates BORA and ARHGEF2.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in testis and weakly in skeletal muscle, thymus and spleen. Also highly expressed in colon, ovarian, prostate, neuroblastoma, breast and cervical cancer cell lines. Expression is cell-cycle regulated, low in G1/S, accumulates during G2/M, and decreases rapidly after.,
