Recombinant Human Aurora Kinase B, GST-tagged, Active

• Cat.No.: AURKB-247H
• Product Overview: Recombinant full-length human AURORAB was expressed by baculovirus inSf9 insect cellsusing a N-terminal GST tag. MW = 68 kDa.

Specification

• Cat. No.: AURKB-247H
• Description: AURORA B is a member of the Aurora kinase family that associates with microtubules during chromosome movement and segregation. AURORA B localizes to the microtubules near kinetochores, specifically to the specialized microtubules called K-fibers. AURORA B inhibits the microtubule depolymerizing activity of mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK) by phosphorylating MCAK on Ser92. This phosphorylation also regulates MCAK translocalization from kinetochores to the centromere. AURORA B has been identified as a target for the development of new anticancer agents since inhibition of AURORA B gives rise to the more pronounced antiproliferative phenotype.
• Source: Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus.
• Sequence: Full-length.
• Applications: Kinase Assay, Western Blot.
• Storage And Stability: Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
