Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), also known as Gamma-enolase or ENO2, is a glycolytic enzyme predominantly expressed in neurons, where it serves as a widely recognized marker of neuronal differentiation and maturation. As cells progress from progenitor states toward fully differentiated neurons, NSE expression increases, making it a reliable indicator of neuronal lineage commitment. Localized to the cytoplasm, NSE is readily detected in neuronal cell bodies and processes, where its expression reflects both metabolic activity and cellular specialization. NSE Antibody reagents are therefore extensively used in neuroscience research to identify and characterize differentiated neuronal populations in tissue sections and experimental models.
NSE antibody, also referred to as ENO2 antibody or Gamma-enolase antibody in the literature, recognizes a cytoplasmic protein with highly enriched expression in mature neurons and select neuroendocrine cells. The NSE Antibody clone ENO2/1375 is particularly suited for studies focused on neuronal differentiation, where detection of ENO2 expression enables clear distinction between differentiated neuronal cells and undifferentiated or non-neuronal populations. In normal tissues, strong cytoplasmic NSE expression is observed in central nervous system structures such as cerebellum and cerebral cortex, where neuronal density is high, while most peripheral and non-neuronal tissues exhibit minimal expression, providing strong contrast for lineage identification.
In developmental and stem cell models, NSE expression is frequently used as a late-stage marker of neuronal differentiation. Its upregulation correlates with neuronal maturation, allowing researchers to monitor the progression of neural progenitor cells into fully differentiated neurons. This makes NSE Antibody an important tool for evaluating differentiation efficiency, neuronal lineage commitment, and cellular identity in both in vitro differentiation systems and in vivo studies of neurogenesis.
Beyond normal neuronal biology, NSE expression can also provide insight into cellular differentiation states in disease contexts. In certain cancers, particularly those exhibiting neuronal or neuroendocrine features, NSE expression reflects lineage plasticity and partial differentiation toward a neuronal phenotype. This adds an additional layer of biological interpretation when assessing tumor cell identity and differentiation status in research settings.
Clone ENO2/1375 enables consistent and reproducible detection of Neuron Specific Enolase across diverse experimental systems, supporting detailed analysis of neuronal differentiation and maturation. Its application in differentiation-focused research allows precise identification of neuronal populations and facilitates studies of lineage specification, cellular development, and tissue organization.
This antibody targets Neuron Specific Enolase in research applications requiring sensitive and interpretable detection of neuronal differentiation markers, making it well suited for studies of neurogenesis, neuronal maturation, and lineage-specific expression profiling.
This antibody is part of the Gamma-enolase antibody collection, where additional ENO2 antibodies for immunohistochemistry can be explored.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the NSE Antibody / Neuronal Differentiation Marker Antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
Amino acids 416-433 of human Neuron Specific Enolase were used as the immunogen for this NSE antibody.
Store the NSE antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
