Classes
As, mentioned above, there are three classes of aurora kinases:
- Aurora A (aka Aurora 2) functions during prophase of mitosis and is required for correct function of the centrosomes (the microtubule organising centres in eukaryotic cells).
- Aurora B (aka Aurora 1) functions in the attachment of the mitotic spindle to the centromere.
- Aurora C (AURKC) works in germ-line cells and little is known about its function.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Between richer and poorer classes in a free country a mutually respecting antagonism is much healthier than pity on the one hand and dependence on the other, as is, perhaps, the next best thing to fraternal feeling.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Of all reformers Mr. Sentiment is the most powerful. It is incredible the number of evil practices he has put down: it is to be feared he will soon lack subjects, and that when he has made the working classes comfortable, and got bitter beer into proper-sized pint bottles, there will be nothing left for him to do.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“The difference between people isn’t in their class, but in themselves. Only from the middle classes one gets ideas, and from the common people—life itself, warmth. You feel their hates and loves.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
