The Importance of Serine Phosphorylation of Ameloblastin on Enamel Formation [PDF]
FAM20C is a newly identified kinase on the secretory pathway responsible for the phosphorylation of serine residues in the Ser-x-Glu/pSer motifs in several enamel matrix proteins. Fam20C-knockout mice showed severe enamel defects very similar to those in

Distribution of biglycan and decorin in rat dental tissue
Biglycan and decorin are small leucine-rich proteoglycans that play several biological and structural roles in different tissues and organs. Several reports have indicated that biglycan participates in odontoblast and ameloblast differentiation and in ...

Aetiological factors for developmental defects of enamel [PDF]
Developmental defects of enamel remain as a permanent record of a disturbance during amelogenesis. They may present in different forms, some of which may be perceived by an individual as being disfiguring and so requiring treatment to improve the ...

Comparing tooth enamel disturbances in a pediatric population that had received prior chemotherapy treatment to age-matched controls from the Virginia Commonwealth University Pediatric Dentistry Clinic. [PDF]
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test whether children who have undergone cancer chemotherapy have a higher prevalence of enamel abnormalities of the second mandibular premolars than age matched controls.

The Na+/Ca2+, K+ exchanger NCKX4 is required for efficient cone-mediated vision [PDF]
Calcium (Ca2+) plays an important role in the function and health of neurons. In vertebrate cone photoreceptors, Ca2+ controls photoresponse sensitivity, kinetics, and light adaptation.

Tooth Enamel, the Result of the Relationship between Matrix Proteins and Hydroxyapatite Crystals [PDF]
Enamel, a structure of epithelial origin, represents a protective tooth cover. The cells responsible for the formation of enamel, ameloblasts, are lost at the time of tooth eruption, so that enamel becomes an acellular structure that can no longer ...
