Neuron Specific Enolase Antibody [ENO2/1462]

Primary Antibodies

Aliquot and Store at 2-8˚ C. Avoid freez-thaw cycles.

This mAb recognizes a protein of about 50 kDa which is identified as gamma-Enolase/Neuron Specific Enolase/Enolase 2. Three isoenzymes of enolases are identified, alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha-isoform is expressed in most tissues, whereas beta-form is expressed predominantly in muscle tissue and gamma-enolase is found only in nervous tissue. These isoforms exist as both homodimers and heterodimers, and they play a role in converting phosphoglyceric acid to phosphenolpyruvic acid in the glycolytic pathway. NSE is a useful marker to identify peripheral nerves and tumors of neuro-endocrine origins, such as pheochromocytomas. It it be usually employed in combination with other markers such as Synaptophysin, Chromogranin A, and Neurofilament.
