Anti-Citrullinated a-Enolase (Clone 4A7)

alpha-Enolase, also known as enolase-1, is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. It is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, including liver, spleen, kidney, and brain. In cells, alpha-enolase is primarily localized to the cytoplasm, however, an alternatively translated form localizes to the nucleus and lacks glycolytic enzyme activity. alpha-Enolase functions as a cell surface receptor for plasminogen on pathogens and activated immune cells, as an oxidative stress protein in endothelial cells, and as a chromatin binding partner to facilitate transcription. It is an autoantigen in asthma, Hashimoto's encephalopathy, and rheumatoid arthritis, and has been found in the serum of pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. alpha-Enolase is also subject to citrullination by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs) and citrullinated alpha-enolase has been found in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Cayman's Citrullinated alpha-Enolase Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 4A7) can be used for ELISA and Western blot applications. The antibody recognizes citrullinated alpha-enolase at approximately 47 kDa from human samples.Synonyms: 2-phospho-D-Glycerate Hydrolyase, ENO1, Enolase-1, Non-neural Enolase, Phosphopyruvate Hydratase, Plasminogen-binding Protein.
