Hepatocellular carcinomas showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining. A few cases of prostate, colorectal and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate immunoreactivity. Remaining malignant tissues were weakly stained or negative.

Description
Aurora kinase C (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the Aurora subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein is a chromosomal passenger protein that forms complexes with Aurora-B and inner centromere proteins and may play a role in organizing microtubules in relation to centrosome/spindle function during mitosis. This gene is overexpressed in several cancer cell lines, suggesting an involvement in oncogenic signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
