The protein encoded by this gene is a cell cycle-regulated kinase that appears to be involved in microtubule formation and/or stabilization at the spindle pole during chromosome segregation. The encoded protein is found at the centrosome in interphase cells and at the spindle poles in mitosis. This gene may play a role in tumor development and progression. A processed pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 1, and an unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 10. Multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.

A synthesized peptide derived from human AVEN, corresponding to a region within C-terminal amino acids.
AVEN, a cell death regulator, is an important signal inducer in acute leuke-mias. AVEN is a highly conserved peripheral membrane protein that protects the cell against the proteolytic activation of caspases as well as Apaf-1 mediated apoptosis by interfering with Apaf-1’s ability to self-associate. Bcl-2 and Bad also interact with AVEN to prevent apoptosis. AVEN is highly expressed in ovary, heart, thymus, spleen, testis and colon, but can also be detected in other tissues. Erythropoietin and methylprednisolone may play important roles in the expression of AVEN in cardiac tissue, especially after a traumatic brain injury. In young patients suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), AVEN expression may be a useful tool in prognosis prediction.
