Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse Doublecortin/DCX Antibody

Detection of Human Doublecortin/DCX antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Doublecortin/DCX by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human motor cortex tissue, human hypothalamus tissue, and human hippocampus tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse Doublecortin/DCX Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF10025) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Doublecortin/DCX at approximately 40 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Doublecortin/DCX antibody in Mouse Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

Doublecortin/DCX in Mouse Brain.

Doublecortin/DCX was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse brain (hippocampus) using Sheep Anti-Human/Mouse Doublecortin/DCX Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF10025) at 8 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in neurons. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

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.
