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.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nENO1 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nENO1 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843647590569,"sku":"ab241024","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab241024","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
