Description

Description: This gene encodes a protein that binds actin and calcium. 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Short Description

Iba1 antibody detects Iba1, a protein widely used by neuroscientists as a microglial marker and to gauge microglial activation. It is also expressed in macrophages. Discrimination between these two cell populations can be achieved via double staining with TMEM119 antibody (GTX134087), another useful microglia-specific marker, by identifying brain-residing microglia as Iba1+/TMEM119+ while CNS-infiltrating macrophages are Iba1+/TMEM119-.
