Aurora kinase A and ninein-interacting protein (also known as AIBp or AUNIP) is a family of eukaryotic proteins necessary for the adequate functioning of Aurora-A, a protein involved in chromosome alignment, centrosome maturation, mitotic spindle assembly and aspects oftumourigenesis. AIBp is likely to act as a regulator of Aurora-A activity []. It interacts with with AURKA via its C terminus and interacts with NIN via its N terminus [].
