AURKB Gene Information

HGNC symbol
AURKB 
Aliases
Aik2; AIM-1; ARK2; AurB; IPL1; PPP1R48; STK12; STK5 
Common name
aurora kinase B 
Entrez Id
9212
Description
This gene encodes a member of the aurora kinase subfamily of serine/threonine kinases. The genes encoding the other two members of this subfamily are located on chromosomes 19 and 20. These kinases participate in the regulation of alignment and segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis through association with microtubules. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 8. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015].
