Preparation and Storage

Background: Doublecortin/DCX

Doublecortin (DCX) is a 365 aminoacids, 40 kDa microtubule-associated phosphoprotein (MAP) encoded by the DCX gene. DCX is an essential factor in neurogenesis, modulating, stabilizing and stimulating polymerization of microtubules (MTs) to ensure effective migration of neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system during embryonic and postnatal development. Mutations in this protein impairs neuronal migration leading to several pathological conditions.

DCX is very conserved across species. Human and non-human primates DCX proteins are 98-99% identical at the aminoacid level, and 100% identical at the sequences used for immunogen of AF10025; human, mouse and rat DCX aminoacid sequences are 98% identical.
