UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: TPX2_HUMAN (Q9ULW0)
Gene Name: TPX2
Synonyms: C20orf1, C20orf2, DIL2, HCA519
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Spindle assembly factor. Required for normal assembly of mitotic spindles. Required for normal assembly of microtubules during apoptosis. Required for chromatin and/or kinetochore dependent microtubule nucleation. Mediates AURKA localization to spindle microtubules. Activates AURKA by promoting its autophosphorylation at 'Thr-288' and protects this residue against dephosphorylation.

Protein Subcellular Localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Note=During mitosis it is strictly associated with the spindle pole and with the mitotic spindle, whereas during S and G2, it is diffusely distributed throughout the nucleu
