Neuron Specific Enolase (Enolase 2)Introduction
 Enolase has three subunits; α, β, and γ. You usually only find all three subunits in vertebrates. Enolase α is ubiquitous, found in all cells. Enolase β is muscle-specific and the γ isozyme is found only in neurons.[4] The subunits can combine in pairs (αα, αβ, αγ, ββ, and γγ) and form the five different isozymes of enolase. It is more common to find the homodimers (αα, ββ, and γγ) in adult human cells, but Structure Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps MechanismLet's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps MedicineLet's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps Let's see how the text wraps References
