Anti-Aurora B Antibody (A283078)

Anti-Aurora B Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Aurora B.

This antibody recognises human Aurora-B kinase (AurB), a serine/threonine kinase which is the enzymatic core of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC). This complex functions in chromosome alignment and separation, histone modification, and cytokinesis. CPC also includes three non-enzymatic subunits known as the inner centromere protein (INCENP), survivin, and borealin, which determine the activity, localisation, stability, and possibly even the substrate specificity of AurB.Two CPCs exist during mitosis- one containing all four members, and another consisting of INCENP and AurB. Quaternary CPC functions during chromosome alignment and cytokinesis, whereas the INCENP-AurB complex may be responsible for modifying histone H3.AurB is overexpressed in a number of tumours, including primary breast and colon tumour samples. Its expression in tumours seems to be linked with Aurora-A kinase, suggesting a feedback mechanism between the two proteins.
