Tissue Specificity: Detected in embryonic neurons in dorsal root ganglia and brain cortex (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis, in about one third of the seminiferous tubules. Expression is restricted to specific spermatocytes nearing completion of prophase, with levels falling off on transition to elongated spermatids. Highly expressed in the ovary, expression in the oocyte starts around the transition to large growing follicle. Abundant expression is seen in the proliferating granulosa and thecal cells of the growing follicle, and in the young corpus luteum. Very weakly expressed in spleen and intestine. .

Background: AURKA (aurora kinase A), also called ARK1, AurA, AIK , AURORA2 ,BTAK, PPP1R47, STK7, STK15,STK6, is a mitotic centrosomal protein kinase. The main role of AURKA in tumor development is in controlling chromosome segregation during mitosis. Aurora A is a member of a family of mitotic serine/threonine kinases. Cell cycle and Northern blot analyses showed that peak expression of AURKA occurs during the G2/M phase and then decreases. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, AURKA gene is represented by 2 signals in chromosome bands 20q13.2-q13.3 and 1q41-q42. The AURKA gene is overexpressed in many human cancers. Ectopic overexpression of Aurora kinase A in mammalian cells induces centrosome amplification, chromosome instability, and oncogenic transformation, a phenotype characteristic of loss-of-function mutations of p53. Depletion of Ajuba prevented activation of AURKA at centrosomes in late G2 phase and inhibited mitotic entry. Activation of AURKA was independently sufficient to induce rapid ciliary resorption, and AURKA acted in this process through phosphorylation of HDAC6, leading to HDAC6-dependent tubulin deacetylation and destabilization of the ciliary axoneme. Small molecule inhibitors of AURKA and HDAC6 reduced regulated disassembly of cilia.
