    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:800

    Storage

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Doublecortin Antibody detects endogenous levels of total doublecortin protein. Nonspecific labeling of fixed frozen mouse pancreas, colon, small intestine, retina, and cell bodies in adult brain are observed by immunofluorescence.


    For superior performance in tissue, Doublecortin (F6K9E) Rabbit mAb #56130 is recommended.


    Species Reactivity:

    Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to human doublecortin. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Mutations in doublecortin (DCX) cause Lissencephaly (smooth brain), a neuronal migration disorder characterized by epilepsy and mental retardation (1). Doublecortin is a microtubule-associated protein that stabilizes and bundles microtubules. A conserved doublecortin domain mediates the interaction with microtubules, and interestingly most missense mutations cluster in this domain (2). Kinases JNK, CDK5, and PKA phosphorylate doublecortin. JNK phosphorylates Thr321, Thr331, and Ser334 while PKA phosphorylates Ser47 and CDK5 phosphorylates Ser297 (3-5). Phosphorylation of Ser297 lowers the affinity of doublecortin to microtubules. Furthermore, mutations of Ser297 result in migration defects (5).
