{"symbol":"AURKC","synonyms":["SPGF5","AIK3","STK13","AURC","AIE2","ARK3","AURORA-C","HEL-S-90"],"name":"aurora kinase C","description":"This gene encodes a member of the Aurora subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein is a chromosomal passenger protein that forms complexes with Aurora-B and inner centromere proteins and may play a role in organizing microtubules in relation to centrosome/spindle function during mitosis. This gene is overexpressed in several cancer cell lines, suggesting an involvement in oncogenic signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
