About Dcdc2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the doublecortin family. The protein encoded by this gene contains two doublecortin domains. The doublecortin domain has been demonstrated to bind tubulin and enhance microtubule polymerization. Knockdown of this gene expression results in neuronal migration disorders similar to those seen in the brains of dyslexics. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
