Cell localization:Membranous.Aurora A(AURKA) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a cell cycle-regµLated kinase that appears to be involved in microtubµLe formation and/or stabilization at the spindle pole during chromosome segregation. The encoded protein is found at the centrosome in interphase cells and at the spindle poles in mitosis. This gene may play a role in tumor development and progression. A processed pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 1, and an unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 10. MµLtiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
