Description

General description

Anti-Aurora-A Kinase antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 35C1 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (SP2/0-Ag14) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human Aurora-A Kinase. Aurora-A Kinase is encoded by serine/threonine kinase (STK15) gene. During S-phase to mitosis progression in cell cycle, the protein is located at the centrosome.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-Aurora-A Kinase antibody is specific for Aurora-A Kinase in humans and mice.

Immunogen

recombinant human Aurora-A kinase.

Application

Anti-Aurora-A Kinase antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Monoclonal Anti-Aurora-A Kinase antibody is suitable for use in immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation, immunoblot, indirect ELISA and western blot (0.25-0.5 μg/mL using HeLa total cell extract). The antibody product does not inhibit kinase activity of Aurora-A kinase, hence the product can be used to measure the in vivo aurora-A kinase activity after immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aurora-A (Aur-A) kinase is a serine threonine kinase that regulates cell division. Elevated levels of Aur-A have been associated with inhibition of apoptosis, and evasion of spindle assembly checkpoints. Aur-A may also be used as a prognostic marker for nasopharyngeal cancers in humans .

Aurora-A kinase is involved in centrosome separation, centrosome maturation, bipolar spindle assembly and stability. Monopolar spindles are formed in the cell when the expression of aAurora-A kinase is inhibited by an appropriate siRNA, while over-expression of this protein results in centrosome amplification and polyploidy of the cell because of cytokinesis failure. Aurora-A activity is essential for the recruitment of cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)-cyclin B1 to the centrosome, which relates with its activation and the commitment of the cells to mitosis. Activation of CDK1 kinase is by dephosphorylation of Tyr¹⁵ by CDC25B. Aurora-A kinase phosphorylates CDC25B both in vitro and in vivo at Ser³⁵³. This phosphorylation occurs at the centrosome during progression from prophase to anaphase. This regulation is important for entry into mitosis.
