Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1641
Gene name Doublecortin
Gene symbol DCX
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DBCNDCLISXSCLHXLIS
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xq23
Summary This gene encodes a member of the doublecortin family. 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
