Predicted to enable histone serine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitotic spindle organization; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in chromosome; meiotic spindle midzone; and midbody. Predicted to be part of chromosome passenger complex. Predicted to be active in spindle microtubule; spindle midzone; and spindle pole centrosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 5. Orthologous to human AURKC (aurora kinase C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
