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.
