1.	Lissencephaly 07/01/1999 - "The protein encoded by this gene is 2,156 amino acids and its function is currently unknown, although the amino terminus has similarity to that of the doublecortin protein, whose gene (DCX) has been implicated in lissencephaly in humans. "
2.	Stroke (Strokes) 03/01/2009 - "E-selectin tolerization did not alter cellular proliferation in the ipsilateral SVZ after stroke, but the expression of tumor necrosis factor on vascular niche blood vessels was suppressed and both doublecortin protein levels and the number of newly generated neuroblasts or neurons were increased in the brain.
