Doublecortin-like domain 2 found in doublecortin domain-containing protein 2B (DCDC2B) DCDC2 is a member of the doublecortin (DCX) family. It is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) with stable double tandem DCX repeats of a ubiquitin-like tertiary fold. Microtubules are key components of 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.

Conserved Features/Sites
Feature 1: key conserved lysine K33, 1 residue position
Conserved feature residue pattern:[KR]
Evidence:Comment:K33/R (Ub numbering) is one of 7 lysines involved in chain linkage in ubiquitin (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, or K63, Ub numbering), the other 6 lysines are not conserved in this subfamily; may have other functions
