“…-Enolase (ENO1) is found in a variety of tissues, while -enolase (ENO3) is exclusively expressed in muscle tissues and -enolase (ENO2) is present in neurons and neuroendocrine tissues (Pancholi, 2001). ENO1 (EC 4.2.1.11) has been the focus of recent research owing to its multifunctional roles in diseases (Gerlt et al, 2005;Kim & Dang, 2005;Glasner et al, 2006;Liu & Shih, 2007) such as cancers (Katayama et al, 2006;Kanemoto et al, 2006;Gruber-Olipitz et al, 2004), autoimmune disorders (Mosca et al, 2006;Weleber et al, 2005;Kinloch et al, 2005;Gitlits et al, 2001), infections (Bergmann et al, 2005;Ehinger et al, 2004) and ischaemia (Anand & Stead, 2005). The disease-related roles of ENO1 mostly rely on its immunogenic properties (Fujii et al, 2005;Yoneda et al, 2007), DNA-binding ability (Al-Giery & Brewer, 1992;Subramanian & Miller, 2000;Wang et al, 2005) and plasmin(ogen) receptor function (Miles et al, 1991;Ehinger et al, 2004;Bergmann et al, 2005).…”
