Anti-DCDC5 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the DCDC5 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the DCDC1 gene, which encodes doublecortin domain containing 1. This protein is known to function in the cell cycle, among other biological roles. The human version of DCDC5 has a canonical amino acid length of 1783 residues and a protein mass of 200.6 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cytoplasm of cells.
