Anti-DCDC2 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

General description

Doublecortin domain-containing protein 2 (DCDC2) belongs to the doublecortin (DCX) superfamily and contains two doublecortin domains. DCDC2 is expressed in the fetal and adult central nervous system (CNS). DCDC2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 6p22.3.

Specificity

Anti-DCDC2 (C-terminal) specifically recognizes human DCDC2.

Application

Anti-DCDC2 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot analysis at a working concentration of 0.5-1μg/mL using a HEK-293T cell lysate expressing human DCDC2.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DCDC2 is one of the dyslexia susceptibility genes involved in neuronal migration and other developmental processes. The DCX domain of DCDC2 binds tubulin and enhances microtubule polymerization. Several SNPs within the DCDC2 gene have been associated with dyslexia. It modulates neuronal development in the brain.

Mutations in the DCDC2 gene is implicated in non-syndromic recessive deafness DFNB66 neonatal sclerosing cholangitis (NSC) and renal-hepatic ciliopathy.

Physical form

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

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots at –20 °C. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
