Caenorhabditis elegans Enables ATPase binding activity; kinesin binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including chromosome condensation; regulation of actomyosin contractile ring contraction; and spindle midzone assembly. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome and spindle midzone. Expressed in oocyte and sperm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); invasive ductal carcinoma; and prostate carcinoma in situ. Is an ortholog of human AURKB (aurora kinase B).
