Doublecortin Antibody

DCX (Neuronal Migration Protein Doublecortin) is a microtubule-associated protein required for initial steps of neuronal dispersion and cortex lamination during cerebral cortex development. It may act by competing with the putative neuronal protein kinase DCLK1 in binding to a target protein. In that way, it may participate in a signaling pathway that is crucial for neuronal interaction before and during migration, possibly as part of a calcium ion-dependent signal transduction pathway. Doublecortin may be part with PAFAH1B1/LIS-1 of overlapping, but distinct, signaling pathways that promote neuronal migration. Mutations in this gene cause abnormal migration of neurons during development and disrupt the layering of the cortex, leading to epilepsy, cognitive disability, subcortical band heterotopia ("double cortex" syndrome) in females and lissencephaly ("smooth brain" syndrome) in males. Anti-Neuronal Migration Protein Doublecortin Antibody is useful for researcher interested in developmental biology, cytoskeletal signaling, neuroscience, and protein kinase binding. Anti-Doublecortin Antibody has been tested in WB, IF, and IHC. Expect bands ~40.6 kDa in western blot using appropriate lysates. Positive control used: PND2-6 brain cells in western blot; PND1 in immunofluorescence; and mouse dentate gyrus for immunohistochemistry.
