Description
Purified native Human NSE protein
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ENO2 gene. Gamma-enolase is a phosphopyruvate hydratase. Gamma-enolase is one of the three enolase isoenzymes found in mammals. This isoenzyme, a homodimer, is found in mature neurons and cells of neuronal origin. Detection of NSE with antibodies can be used to identify neuronal cells and cells with neuroendocrine differentiation
