Anti-Aurora A antibody [EP1008Y]

Target data

Mitotic serine/threonine kinase that contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression (PubMed : 11039908, PubMed : 12390251, PubMed : 17125279, PubMed : 17360485, PubMed : 18615013, PubMed : 26246606). Associates with the centrosome and the spindle microtubules during mitosis and plays a critical role in various mitotic events including the establishment of mitotic spindle, centrosome duplication, centrosome separation as well as maturation, chromosomal alignment, spindle assembly checkpoint, and cytokinesis (PubMed : 14523000, PubMed : 26246606). Required for normal spindle positioning during mitosis and for the localization of NUMA1 and DCTN1 to the cell cortex during metaphase (PubMed : 27335426). Required for initial activation of CDK1 at centrosomes (PubMed : 13678582, PubMed : 15128871). Phosphorylates numerous target proteins, including ARHGEF2, BORA, BRCA1, CDC25B, DLGP5, HDAC6, KIF2A, LATS2, NDEL1, PARD3, PPP1R2, PLK1, RASSF1, TACC3, p53/TP53 and TPX2 (PubMed : 11551964, PubMed : 14702041, PubMed : 15128871, PubMed : 15147269, PubMed : 15987997, PubMed : 17604723, PubMed : 18056443, PubMed : 18615013). Regulates KIF2A tubulin depolymerase activity (PubMed : 19351716). Important for microtubule formation and/or stabilization (PubMed : 18056443). Required for normal axon formation (PubMed : 19812038). Plays a role in microtubule remodeling during neurite extension (PubMed : 19668197). Also acts as a key regulatory component of the p53/TP53 pathway, and particularly the checkpoint-response pathways critical for oncogenic transformation of cells, by phosphorylating and destabilizing p53/TP53 (PubMed : 14702041). Phosphorylates its own inhibitors, the protein phosphatase type 1 (PP1) isoforms, to inhibit their activity (PubMed : 11551964). Inhibits cilia outgrowth (By similarity). Required for cilia disassembly via phosphorylation of HDAC6 and subsequent deacetylation of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 17604723, PubMed : 20643351). Regulates protein levels of the anti-apoptosis protein BIRC5 by suppressing the expression of the SCF(FBXL7) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase substrate adapter FBXL7 through the phosphorylation of the transcription factor FOXP1 (PubMed : 28218735).
