Neuron-Specific Enolase (Autostainer Link 48)

Neuron-specific enolase is one of three main groups of enolases, the other two being non-neuronal enolase and muscle-specific enolase. The antibody labels cells of neuronal and neuroendocrine origin. Although neuron-specific enolase is not an exclusive neuronal marker, it may be used for the identification of peripheral nerves. Results aid in the classification of neural and neuroendocrine tumors, such as neuroblastomas, retinoblastomas, desmoplastic malignant melanoma, and small-cell lung cancer.
