Abstract excerpt
Ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1, Iba1, is an EF hand calcium binding protein whose expression is restricted to macrophages/microglia. In this study, Iba1 was shown to colocalize with F-actin in membrane ruffles induced by macrophage colony-stimulating factor and in phagocytic cups formed during zymosan phagocytosis. Expression of mutant Iba1 carrying either N- or C-terminal deletions or carrying a...
