Aurora Kinase: A Target for Cancer Therapy
Abstract: Aurora kinases are the enzymes that belong to the family of serine/threonine kinases. It consists of Aurora-A (AURK-A), Aurora-B (AURK-B) and Aurora-C (AURK-C), which are the essential kinases for cell division through mitosis regulation especially for the process of chromosomal segregation. Aurora kinases are involved in meiosis regulation along with the regulation of mitosis. Inhibition of Aurora kinase leads to neglected cell division. Various cancer studies generally deal with gene …
