Primary Identifier | MGI:107168 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 20877 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone H3S28 kinase activity. Involved in post-translational protein modification. Located in several cellular components, including chromocenter; midbody; and mitotic spindle. Part of chromosome passenger complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AURKB (aurora kinase B). PHENOTYPE: Heterozygous null mice may develop oligospermia and show premature death and increased tumor incidence. Homozygous null embryos are small and die post-implantation showing reduced inner cell mass outgrowth, mitotic defects, aberrant trophoblast giant cells, edema, hemorrhage and increased apoptosis.
