Product Overview
Clone AOAD-4 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes neuronal migration protein doublecortin (gene DCX) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 40.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 45 kDa.
Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein expressed in migrating and differentiating neurons. It stabilizes microtubules and is required for neuronal migration and layering of the cerebral cortex; mutations cause lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia. DCX is widely used as a marker of immature neurons and adult neurogenesis.

|---|---|
| Flow cytometry | 1:50–1:200 |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): C6 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human DCX.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places neuronal migration protein doublecortin in the cytoplasm and cell projection. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed in neuronal cells of fetal brain (in the majority of cells of the cortical plate, intermediate zone and ventricular zone), but not expressed in other fetal tissues. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
