Activity summary

The ENO3 protein also known as beta-enolase mechanically functions as an enzyme involved in glycolysis catalyzing the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 47 kDa. It is specifically expressed in skeletal muscle tissue where it plays a critical role in energy metabolism. Beta-enolase is an isoform of enolase that is distinct from the alpha (ENO1) and gamma (ENO2) isoforms which have different tissue specificities.

Biological function summary

Beta-enolase supports cellular energy production in muscles. It does not typically form part of a protein complex but acts independently in the glycolytic pathway. Its function in glycolysis is important for providing ATP to muscle cells especially during periods of high energy demand such as exercise. The efficient conversion of metabolic substrates in this pathway is essential for muscle function and maintenance.

Pathways

Beta-enolase operates within the glycolytic pathway and plays an important role in energy production. This pathway is fundamental for breaking down glucose to provide ATP the energy currency of the cell. Beta-enolase works closely with other key glycolytic enzymes such as hexokinase and phosphofructokinase. Its role is indispensable in maintaining the flow of carbon through glycolysis ensuring robust energy supply for muscle contraction.

Associated diseases and disorders

Beta-enolase is associated with diseases like glycogen storage disease type XIII and muscle-related disorders. Mutations in ENO3 gene can lead to reduced energetic efficiency and impact muscular health. Of particular note is the connection with related glycolytic proteins which may exhibit compensatory or contributing roles in these disorders. This highlights the importance of beta-enolase and its interactions in maintaining muscle physiology and energy homeostasis.
