Product Specs

Introduction
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), also known as Enolase-2, is a glycolytic isoenzyme primarily found in central and peripheral neurons and neuroendocrine cells. NSE is released into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following neural tissue injury. Additionally, neoplasms originating from neural or neuroendocrine tissue release NSE into the bloodstream. NSE serves as a valuable biomarker for detecting and monitoring various tumors, including neuroblastoma, small cell lung cancer, medullary thyroid cancer, carcinoid tumors, pancreatic endocrine tumors, and melanoma. As one of the three enolase isoenzymes present in mammals, NSE is specifically found in mature neurons and cells of neuronal origin. During the development of neural tissue in rats and primates, a transition from alpha enolase to gamma enolase (NSE) takes place.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

Enolase-2 is composed of two subunits and has a molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa under reducing conditions . The enzyme is highly specific to neurons and neuroendocrine cells, making it a valuable marker for neuronal differentiation and neuroendocrine tumors .

Recombinant Production

Recombinant Human Enolase-2 is typically produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression systems. The recombinant protein is often tagged with a histidine (His) tag to facilitate purification. The protein is purified to a high degree, with a purity greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and visualized with silver staining .

Applications

Recombinant Enolase-2 is used in various research applications, including:

  • Biochemical studies: Understanding the enzyme’s role in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
  • Clinical diagnostics: Serving as a biomarker for neuronal damage and neuroendocrine tumors.
  • Drug development: Screening for potential inhibitors or modulators of enolase activity.
Storage and Stability

The recombinant protein is typically supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in a buffer containing MES, NaCl, KCl, and MgSO4. It is recommended to store the protein at -20 to -70 °C to maintain its stability. Avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles is crucial to preserve its activity .

Assay Procedure

The activity of recombinant Enolase-2 can be measured by its ability to convert phosphoglyceric acid to phosphoenolpyruvate. The specific activity is typically greater than 6,000 pmol/min/μg under the described conditions .

Enolase-2’s role in glycolysis and its specificity to neurons make it a significant enzyme for both basic research and clinical applications. Its recombinant form allows for detailed studies and potential therapeutic developments.
