DCDC2

Also known as DCDC2A, DFNB66, NPHP19, RU2, RU2S, doublecortin domain containing 2, NSC

Doublecortin domain-containing protein 2 (DCDC2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCDC2 gene.

Gene data

DCDC2

Name: doublecortin domain containing 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: DCDC2A, DFNB66, NPHP19, NSC, RU2, RU2S

This gene encodes a doublecortin domain-containing family member. The doublecortin domain has been demonstrated to bind tubulin and enhance microtubule polymerization. This family member is thought to function in neuronal migration where it may affect the signaling of primary cilia. Mutations in this gene have been associated with reading disability (RD) type 2, also referred to as developmental dyslexia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013].
