Calcium ions are known to be one of the most important signal mediators in all cells including central nervous system (CNS) cells. They exert their signaling activity through asociation with various calcium binding proteins, many of which are classified into a large protein family, the EF hand protein family.
Iba1 is a 17-kDa EF hand protein that is specifically expressed in macrophages/microglia and is upregulated during the activation of these cells.
