Dublecortin-like domain 1 found in doublecortin domain-containing protein 2C (DCDC2C) DCDC2 is a member of doublecortin (DCX) family. It is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) with stable double tandem DCX repeats of ubiquitin-like tertiary fold. Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeleton that are involved in cell movement, shape determination, division and transport. DCDC2 genetic variation in humans is associated with reading disability, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and difficulties in mathematics. A genetic variant of DCDC2 associates with dyslexia, a common neurobehavioral disorder of reading. DCDC2 protein interacts with many of the same cytoskeleton related proteins that other members of the DCX family interact with.
