Aurora B Serine/Threonine Kinase Inhibitor TAK-901NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Aurora B Serine/Threonine Kinase Inhibitor TAK-901;
NCIt synonyms : Aurora B Serine Threonine Kinase Inhibitor TAK-901;
NCIt related terms : TAK-901;
NCIt definition : A small-molecule inhibitor of the serine-threonine kinase Aurora B with potential
antineoplastic activity. Aurora B kinase inhibitor TAK-901 binds to and inhibits the
activity of Aurora B, which may result in a decrease in the proliferation of tumor
cells that overexpress Aurora B. Aurora B is a positive regulator of mitosis that
functions in the attachment of the mitotic spindle to the centromere; the segregation
of sister chromatids to each daughter cell; and the separation of daughter cells during
cytokinesis. This serine/threonine kinase may be amplified and overexpressed by a
variety of cancer cell types.;
