BACKGROUND Gamma-enolase, known also as neuron-specific enolase (NSE), is an enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, which is expressed predominantly in neurons and cells of the neuroendocrine system. As a tumour marker it is used in diagnosis and prognosis of cancer; however, the mechanisms enrolling it in malignant progression remain elusive. As a cytoplasmic enzyme gamma-enolase is involved in inc...

Background. We report a case of autoimmune retinopathy associated with anti-alpha-enolase antibodies with unique manifestations. Methods. A case report. Results. A 30-year-old male experienced recurrent, primarily peripheral visual field disturbances and minimal photopsia, with interval symptom resolution. Fundus changes subsequently developed in areas corresponding to the previous visual field...

The present study investigated the distribution of nerves in the oviduct of the sexually immature ostrich. The presence of protein gene product 9.5, neurofilament protein and neuron specific enolase nerve fibres were demonstrated in the infundibulum, magnum, isthmus, shell gland and vagina. Nerve fibres containing protein gene product 9.5, neuron specific enolase and neurofilament protein were ...

Enolases are highly conserved proteins that catalyze the interconversion of 2-phosphoglyceric acid and phosphoenolpyruvate [1]. This is an essential step during glycolysis as well as gluconeogenesis. Interestingly, evolution has incorporated multiple novel non-glycolytic functions in several glycolytic enzymes (Reviewed in [2]). Such non-glycolytic or ‘moonlighting functions’ of enolase range f...

Background and Purpose: Poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage still has a poor prognosis. This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated intracisternal magnesium sulfate infusion combined with intravenous hydrogen therapy in patients poor-grade hemorrhage. Methods: Thirty-seven were to Mg+H 2 , Mg, control groups. Mg groups received (2.5 mmol/L) at 20 mL/h for 14 days. group also hydrogen-ric...
