Aurora kinases, a group of serine/threonine protein family, comprise Aurora A, B and C members and are involved in the regulation of cell division and mitosis. Aurora A overexpression correlates with poor prognosis and is considered a therapeutic target for cancer treatments, although the clinical development of Aurora kinase inhibitors has been so far limited by excessive safety issues.
