Beta-enolase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ENO3 gene.This gene encodes one of the three enolase isoenzymes found in mammals. This isoenzyme a homodimer is found in skeletal muscle cells in the adult. A switch from alpha enolase to beta enolase occurs in muscle tissue during development in rodents. Mutations in this gene can be associated with metabolic myopathies that may result from decreased stability of the enzyme.
