Overview
- Product nameAnti-Iba1 antibody
See all Iba1 primary antibodies - DescriptionGoat polyclonal to Iba1
- SpecificityThis antibody is expected to recognise isoform 3 (NP_001614.3) only. This antibody gave excellent staining in paraffin embedded human adult tissue and embyronic rat tissue. For WB, we recommend blocking in 3-5% milk, NOT BSA. Blocking in BSA gives high background.
- Tested applicationsSuitable for:
WB, IHC-Fr, IHC-Pmore details

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab48004 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| WB | Use a concentration of 0.5 - 1.5 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 17 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 17 kDa). We recommend blocking in 3-5% milk, not BSA. Blocking in BSA gives high background in WB. |
|
| IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| IHC-P | Use a concentration of 2 - 4 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. |
Target
- FunctionActin-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.
- Tissue specificityDetected in T-lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
- Sequence similaritiesContains 2 EF-hand domains.
- Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on serine residues. - Cellular localizationCytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection > ruffle membrane. Associated with the actin cytoskeleton at membrane ruffles and at sites of phagocytosis.
