Allograft inflammatory factor 1
InterPro entry
Short name | AIF1/AIF1L |
Overlapping homologous superfamilies |
Description
This entry includes AIF1 (also know as Iba1, ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1) and AIF1L (Iba2) from humans. They are actin-binding proteins
[2]. AIF1 has been shown to promote vascular smooth muscle cell migration
[3]. AIF1L is involved in the stabilization of podocyte morphology by titrating actomyosin contractility and membrane dynamics
[1].
This entry also includes calcium-binding protein B from Dictyostelium discoideum.
