Iba1 (AIF1) is a marker for microglia, the brain's primary immune cells and is frequently used in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research. In AD brains, altered Iba1 expression indicates microglial activation and neuroinflammation. Researchers use Iba1 to assess microglial response and motility in AD models, making it essential for understanding the role of inflammation and immune response in Alzheimer's pathology.\u003cbr\u003e\nPatented technology\u003cbr\u003e\nOur RabMAb\u003cbr\u003e\ntechnology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies.

It is expressed mainly in microglia and macrophages key components of the central nervous system's immune system. Researchers often use Iba1 in Western blots and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to study microglial activation. The protein's expression is a strong marker of microglial activation making it a focal point in neuroinflammation studies. Anti-Iba1 antibodies have gained popularity for their effectiveness in identifying microglia in brain tissue sections through Iba1 staining techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIba1 modulates actin bundling facilitating changes in microglial morphology and motility. It does not form part of a multiprotein complex but is significantly involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. This protein's expression increases during brain injury indicating its role in response to neural trauma. Iba1 has calcium-binding properties which suggest that it might interact with proteins involved in calcium signaling pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCalcium signaling and actin cytoskeletal rearrangement are significant biological processes that involve Iba1. Within these pathways Iba1 interacts closely with other actin-binding proteins that affect microglial movement and morphology. Such interactions illustrate how Iba1 helps microglia navigate and respond to changes within the brain environment.\u003cbr\u003e\nIba1 is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In these conditions elevated Iba1 levels mark increased microglial activity which correlates with disease progression. Connections with proteins such as amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease suggest its role in mediating inflammatory responses and linking inflammation to disease pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844043526313,"sku":"ab178847","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab178847","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
