The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein and contains two doublecortin domains, which bind microtubules. In the developing cortex, cortical neurons must migrate over long distances to reach the site of their final differentiation. The encoded protein appears to direct neuronal migration by regulating the organization and stability of microtubules. In addition, the encoded protein interacts with LIS1, the regulatory gamma subunit of platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, and this interaction is important to proper microtubule function in the developing cortex. Mutations in this gene cause abnormal migration of neurons during development and disrupt the layering of the cortex, leading to epilepsy, mental retardation, subcortical band heterotopia ("double cortex" syndrome) in females and lissencephaly ("smooth brain&quo Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Host: Rabbit Applications: WB, IHC-p, IF (paraffin section), ELISA Alternate Names: DCX, DBCN, LISX, Neuronal migration protein doublecortin, Doublin, Lissencephalin-X, Lis-X Clonality: Polyclonal Dilution: Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000.
