Description
Product Usage Information
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50
Storage
Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide and 2 mg/ml BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Protocol
Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized)
Specificity / Sensitivity
Aurora A (D3E4Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total Aurora A protein.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro70 of human Aurora A protein.
Background
Aurora A (AIK) is a cell cycle-regulated Ser/Thr protein kinase that is overexpressed in many tumor cell lines (1-3). Phosphorylation of Aurora A at Thr288 within the kinase activation loop results in a significant increase in its activity and may target the protein for proteasomal degradation during mitosis (4). The closely-related kinase Aurora B (AIM1) has been implicated in multiple mitotic events (5), and siRNA silencing of Aurora B expression results in reduced histone H3 phosphorylation, aberrant chromosome alignment/segregation, and altered survivin localization (6).
