Description: Aurora-A (Aurora-A/STK-15/Aik) encoding a centrosome-associated kinase, is amplified and over-expressed in many cancer cell types, and is involved in the induction of centrosome duplication-distribution abnormalities and aneuploidy in mammalian cells. So that, Aurora-A is a potential oncogene. Aurora-A have been identified three types (Aurora-A, B, C) which has high homology domain in C terminal region. Aurora family is indispendsable kinase that regulate the structure and function of centrosomes and spindle. Aurora-A could be one of targeting molecule of anti-cancer therapy. This antibody was established from the purified serum of the immunized rabbit with N terminal region of Aurora-A and did not show any cross-reactivity to Aurora-B and Aurora-C. This antibody is useful for western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
