Anti-AURA antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the AURA antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the AURKA gene, which encodes aurora kinase A. This protein is known to function in the apoptotic pathway and cell division, among other biological roles. The human version of AURA has a canonical amino acid length of 403 residues and a protein mass of 45.8 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells and notably expressed in the testis and tonsil. Other names for this target antigen include AIK and ARK1. Western Blot is the most common application for the AURA antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
