ENAH Protein Isoform Expression Assay

Preferred Label : ENAH Protein Isoform Expression Assay;

NCIt synonyms : Mena Protein Isoform Expression Assay; Protein Enabled Homolog Isoform Expression Assay;

NCIt definition : A proprietary immunofluorescent assay that quantifies the relative expression levels of all isoforms of the actin regulatory protein, protein enabled homolog (Mena or ENAH), including Mena(INV) and Mena11a. Mena(INV) expression is elevated and Mena11a expression is diminished or absent in invasive tumor cells, which may have increased metastatic potential. Therefore, this assay may be able to predict a patient's risk for tumor metastasis.;
