ENO3
Description
ENO3, encoding the enzyme enolase 3, plays a crucial role in glycolysis, a fundamental metabolic pathway that generates energy for cells. Enolase 3 is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. This gene‘s activity is tightly regulated, ensuring optimal energy production while maintaining cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of ENO3 expression or function has been linked to several diseases, highlighting its significance in maintaining overall health.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., colorectal, breast, and lung cancer)
- Neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer‘s disease, Parkinson‘s disease)
- Cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart failure, stroke)
- Metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity)
Did you know?
ENO3 is a highly conserved gene, meaning its sequence is remarkably similar across different species, emphasizing its essential role in cellular metabolism.
