Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionifb-1 (also known as vab-21) encodes two isoforms of an essential intermediate filament protein that is coexpressed with the essential IF proteins IFA-1, IFA-2, and IFA-3, along with IFA-4; IFB-1 is required for embryonic development and epidermal morphogenesis; IFB-1 forms heteropolymeric intermediate filaments in vitro with an equimolar mixture of IFA-1, IFA-2, or IFA-3, and binds IFA-4 in blot overlay assays; IFB-1 resides in attachment structures of epidermal cells, found in sites undergoing mechanical stress; the two isoforms are expressed in different tissues and have distinct functions, since ifb-1A(RNAi) larvae have detached muscle cells, while ifb-1B(RNAi) larvae have detached cuticle.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001981

Automated_descriptionPredicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in cellular localization; heterochromatin formation; and nucleus organization. Located in apical plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; excretory system; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in partial lipodystrophy; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 9. Is an ortholog of human LMNB2 (lamin B2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
