NCIt definition : Gamma-enolase (434 aa, 47 kDa) is encoded by the human ENO2 gene. This protein is
involved in glycolysis, neurotrophy and neuroprotection.;
NCIt note : Gamma-enolase is expressed specifically in neurons.; Gamma-enolase protein levels are significantly elevated in brain tumors and Creutzfeld-Jacob
disease. Cardiovascular accidents and cerebral trauma also cause dramatic increases
in levels of this protein.;
