General description

The glycolytic enzyme enolase (2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolase, E.C. 4.2.1.11) is composed of two subunits and exists in three molecular forms in human brain: non-neuronal enolase (NNE; alpha, alpha′-enolase), neuron-specific enolase (NSE; gamma,gamma′-enolase, also known as 14-3-2 protein and NSP) and the short-lived heterodimer alpha, gamma′-enolase. The neuron specific form is a highly acidic homodimeric protin of 78kDa, which has been found in central and peripheral nervous elements and also in many neuroendocrine cells and derivative tumors. NSE is regarded as the best described serum marker for small cell lung cancer. In addition, the measurement of NSE levels in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid following cerebral ischaemia and traumatic head injury provides a reliable laboratory indicator of the degree of brain cell damage and may allow early prediction of prognostic outcome.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes a region near the N-terminus of Neuron Specific Enolase.

Immunogen

Epitope: Near N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the near N-terminus of human Neuron Specific Enolase.

Application

Anti-Neuron Specific Enolase Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets Neuron-Specific Enolase & has been tested in western blotting & IHC (Paraffin).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected in Neuron Specific Enolase in human thalamus tissue and glioma sections.
