Function

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.
Tissue specificity

Detected in T-lymphocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Sequence similarities

Contains 2 EF-hand domains.
Post-translational
modifications

Phosphorylated on serine residues.
Cellular localization

Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell projection > ruffle membrane. Associated with the actin cytoskeleton at membrane ruffles and at sites of phagocytosis.

Immunohistochemistry - Anti-Iba1 antibody [EPR16589] (ab178847)

Iba1 antibody ab178847 was used with Tissue Clearing Kit ab243298 to penetrate, stain and clear a 1 mm coronal section of mouse brain. Blue: DAPI , Green: Iba1.

Learn more about tissue clearing kits, reagents, and protocols designed to make it easier to stain thick tissue sections and get more data from each valuable tissue section.

For 1 mm brain sections, we recommend a starting dilution of 1:100, and also using Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L AlexaFluor488 (ab150077) at a dilution of 1:400.
