Uses
Anti-AIF1/IBA1 (Isoform 3) antibody produced in goat has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence.
General Description
AIF1 (allograft inflammatory factor 1) is a calcium-binding, cytoplasmic protein that has 143-amino acids. It is also known as IBA1 (ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1). It is expressed in the cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage, as well as in microglial and dendritic cells. It is located on human chromosome 6p21.3.
Biochem/physiol Actions
AIF1 (allograft inflammatory factor 1) is an essential factor of macrophage chemotaxis. Expression of AIF1 regulates the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells by G-CSF (cytokine granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) autocrine expression.
