Facts about Neuronal migration protein doublecortin.
May in that way take part in a signaling pathway that is crucial for neuronal interaction before and during migration, maybe as part of a calcium ion-dependent signal transduction pathway. May be a part with PAFAH1B1/LIS-1 of overlapping, but distinct, signaling pathways that promote neuronal migration.

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. In the adult, highly expressed in the brain frontal lobe, but very low expression in other regions of brain, and not detected in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscles, kidney and pancreas.
Cytoplasm. Cell projection, neuron projection. Localizes at neurite tips.
