Product details:
Human ENO1 ELISA Kit (Alpha-Enolase) ab181417 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human ENO1 (Alpha-Enolase)in cell culture extracts, serum, tissue extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 6.5 0.
How the assay works
Human ENO1 (Alpha-Enolase)SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Alpha enolase (ENO1, P06733) ENO1 is localized to cytoplasm. It can translocate to the plasma membrane in either the homodimeric (alpha/alpha) or heterodimeric (alpha/gamma) form. MBP1, a shorter isoform of the ENO1, binds to the myc promoter and acts as a transcriptional repressor. It may be a tumor suppressor. It locates mainly in nucleus. ENO1 is used as a diagnostic marker for many tumors and, in the heterodimeric form, alpha/gamma, as a marker for hypoxic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Also it is a marker for endometriosis. Antibodies against ENO1 are present in sera from patients with cancer-associated retinopathy syndrome (CAR), a progressive blinding disease which occurs in the presence of systemic tumor growth, primarily small-cell carcinoma of the lung and other malignancies. ENO1 is identified as an autoantigen in Hashimoto encephalopathy (HE) a rare autoimmune disease associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). HT is a disorder in which destructive processes overcome the potential capacity of thyroid replacement leading to hypothyroidism.

Enolase 1 or alpha-enolase is an important enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. We also refer to it as an enolase reaction. ENO1 protein has a molecular mass of approximately 47 kDa and is expressed in most tissues but found most abundantly in the brain muscle and liver. Additionally ENO1 can exist in both cytosolic and plasma membrane-associated forms playing functional roles in different cellular contexts.
Biological function summary
The ENO1 protein serves multiple functions beyond its glycolytic activity. It also acts as a plasminogen receptor on the cell surface aiding in the modulation of pericellular and extracellular matrix degradation processes. Through this role ENO1 influences cell migration and tissue remodeling. This protein can form part of larger protein complexes contributing to its versatility in various cellular functions.
Pathways
ENO1 plays a critical role in glycolysis a central metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate generating ATP as a result. In this pathway ENO1 closely interacts with other enzymes like phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase. Additionally as a plasminogen receptor ENO1 links to the plasminogen activation pathway affecting fibrinolysis and cellular response to tissue injury.
ENO1 is associated with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Overexpression or aberrant regulation of ENO1 often correlates with tumor progression and metastasis in cancers such as lung and breast cancer. In neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease abnormal functioning of ENO1 can impact brain energy metabolism and neuron degeneration. ENO1's interaction with other proteins such as beta-enolase further connects it to these conditions influencing disease mechanisms and patient outcomes.
