Beschreibung

General description

Doublecortin (DCX) or alternatively known as Doublin or Lissencephalin-X (Lis-X) and encoded by the human gene named DCX/DBCN/LISX is a microtubule associated protein that is required for the initial steps of neuronal dispersion and lamination during cortex brain development. Expressed by neuronal precursor cells and immature neurons, DCX expression is decreased by the time neurons are mature and express the mature neuronal marker NeuN. Thus DCX expression is a hallmark of developing neurons and neurogenesis. DCX expression is localized in the cytoplasm and along microtubule tracks. DCX appears to stabilize microtubules and causes bundling of them in the cytoplasm. In disease, DCX is the cause for an X-linked lissencephaly and subcortical laminar heterotopia, a disorder that is characterized by a “smooth” brain with few folds like normal brains and poorly formed cortical layers as well as other abnormalities. Besides developmental effects DCX may potentially help in the suppression of gliomas because in brain tumor stem cells (BTSC) self-renewal ability was significantly reduced in cells expressing DCX compared to control cells. EMD-Millipore’s Anti-DCX mouse monoclonal has been tested in western blot against recombinant protein as well as mouse heart lysate. The antibody has also been successfully tested in paraffin embedded immunohistochemistry on normal human brain and kidney cancer tissue sections as well as in fluorescent immunocytochemistry on HepG2 cells in culture and flow cytometry on SK-N-SH cells in culture and direct ELISA on varying concentrations of antigen.

~50 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may appear in some lysate(s).
