Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Iba1, different from the related mouse sequence by seven amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by six amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 17 kDa; calculated MW: 16703 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Allograft inflammatory factor 1; Allograft inflammatory factor 1. Allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF-1), also known as ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AIF1 gene. This gene encodes a protein that binds actin and calcium. And this gene is induced by cytokines and interferon and may promote macrophage activation and growth of vascular smooth muscle cells and T-lymphocytes. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with systemic sclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length and coding nature of some of these variants is not certain. Functional note: Actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. May play a role in macrophage activation and function. Promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T- lymphocytes. Enhances lymphocyte migration. Plays a role in vascular inflammation. . Reported localization: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, ruffle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Associated with the actin cytoskeleton at membrane ruffles and at sites of phagocytosis. Expression/tissue context: Detected in T-lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. .
