Frequent Overexpression of <i>STK15/Aurora-A/BTAK</i> and Chromosomal Instability in Tumorigenic Cell Cultures Derived From Human Ovarian Cancer
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The STK15 (also known as Aurora-A/BTAK) gene localized on chromosome 20q13 and encoding a centrosome-associated serine/threonine kinase is amplified and overexpressed in multiple human tumor cell types. Overexpression of this gene is involved in tumorigenic transformation, induction of centrosome duplication-distribution abnormalities, and aneuploidy in mammalian cells. To examine the potential role of STK15 in...
