Background Information

IBA1, or AIF1 daintain/AIF-1, is a 143 amino acid cytoplasmic, inflammation response scaffold protein. It is constitutively expressed in monocytes and macrophages and is known to be involved in macrophage activation. It is a marker of activated macrophage and widely used as microglial cell marker. Despite a lack of detailed knowledge on the in vivo physiological functions of IBA1, there is growing evidence that shows its aberrant expression contributes to the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. IBA1 is an actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. It enhances lymphocyte migration and the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. IBA1 also plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis and involved in vascular inflammation. It also promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T-lymphocytes.
