Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 151-170 of human doublecortin, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse doublecortin.

Application

Anti-Doublecortin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunohistofluorescence.
Anti-Doublecortin antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 1-2μg/mL using HEK-293T cells expressing human doublecortin, and mouse brain and rat brain extract (S1 fraction).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Doublecortin is a 40kDa microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that is essential for migration of neurons during the development of the cerebral cortex. Mutations in the human DCX gene cause lissencephaly (smooth brain) or subcortical laminar heterotopia (SCLH), characterized by mental retardation and seizures. DCX interaction with MAPs stabilizes microtubules (MTs). The interaction with MTs is via a conserved N-terminal doublecortin (DC) domain. DCX can be regulated by phosphorylation at multiple sites by several kinases, including JNK, Cdk5, PKA, and MARK/PAR-1 family of protein kinases.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phophate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Mouse neuronal CAD 5 cell line effectively propagates various strains of prions. Previously, we have shown that it can also be differentiated into the cells morphologically resembling neurons. Here, we demonstrate that CAD 5 cells chronically infected with prions undergo

Doublecortin (DCX) is required for normal migration of neurons into the cerebral cortex, since mutations in the human gene cause a disruption of cortical neuronal migration. To date, little is known about the distribution of DCX protein or its function.

X-linked lissencephaly is a severe brain malformation affecting males. Recently it has been demonstrated that the doublecortin gene is implicated in this disorder. In order to study the function of Doublecortin, we analyzed the protein upon transfection of COS cells.

The mammalian cortex is generally subdivided into six organized layers, which are formed during development in an organized fashion. This organized cortical layering is disrupted in case of mutations in the doublecortin (DCX) gene. DCX is a Microtubule Associated Protein
