Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

- Recombinant Human Enolase 2/Neuron‑specific Enolase His-tag (rhENO-2) (Catalog # 10412-EN).
- Substrate: L-2-Phosphoglyceric acid (2-PG) (Sigma, Catalog # 19710), 100 mM stock in deionized water
- Recombinant Human PKM-2 (PKM-2) (Catalog # 7244-PK)
- Recombinant Human LDH-A (LDH-A) (Catalog # 9158-HA)
- Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (Sigma, Catalog # A2754), 200 mM stock in deionized water
- beta -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt hydrate ( beta -NADH) (Sigma, Catalog # N8129), 20 mM stock in 0.1 M Sodium Borate, pH 9.0
- 96-well clear Plate (Catalog # DY990)
- Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Prepare Reaction Mixture containing 20 µg/mL rhPKM-2, 5 µg/mL rhLDH-A, 14 mM ADP, 800 µM beta -NADH, and 8 mM 2-PG in Assay Buffer.
- Incubate Reaction Mixture at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Dilute rhENO-2 to 1 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- In a plate, load 50 µL of 1 µg/mL rhENO-2, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of Reaction Mixture. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL of Assay Buffer and 50 µL of Reaction Mixture.
- Read at an absorbance of 340 nm in kinetic mode for 10 minutes with a lag time of 3 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = | Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol x (-1) |
ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Using the extinction coefficient 6220 M-1cm-1
***Using the path correction 0.32 cm
Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD
- rhENO-2: 0.05 µg
- 2-PG: 4 mM
- ADP: 7 mM
- beta -NADH: 400 µM

Background: Enolase 2/Neuron-specific Enolase
Neuron specific enolase (NSE), also known as ENO2 or gamma-enolase, is a dimeric, Mg2+-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of 2-phospho-D glycate (PGA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the glycolytic pathway and catalyzes the reverse reaction in gluconeogenesis. There are three major isozymes of enolase expressed in selective vertebrate tissues from separate genes: alpha (ENO1), beta (ENO3), and gamma (ENO2). NSE is a highly expressed, specific neuron isozyme (1) making it a useful marker for tumors derived from neuronal cells. Neuron-specific enolase is implicated as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in numerous diseases including early small cell lung cancer (2), prostate cancer (3), multiple myeloma (4), traumatic brain injury (5), acute spinal cord injury (6), acute ischemic stroke (7), and post-concussion symptoms (8). NSE expression and activity are increased in neuronal and glial activation and injury (9), risk factors implicated in neurodegenerative disease. Elevation of NSE promotes glycolysis, proliferation, activation and migration through its C-terminus to activate PI3K and MAPK signal transduction pathways (6, 10) while inhibition of enolase has been shown to attenuate inflammatory events (11, 12). NSE can be regulated through cleavage of the C-termini by cathepsin X (13, 14) or inhibited directly by antibiotic SF2312 (15). Inhibition has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy in cancer (16).
