Interactions of amelogenin with phospholipids [PDF]
ABSTRACTAmelogenin protein has the potential to interact with other enamel matrix proteins, mineral, and cell surfaces. We investigated the interactions of recombinant amelogenin rP172 with small unilamellar vesicles as model membranes, toward the goal of understanding the mechanisms of amelogenin–cell interactions during amelogenesis.

Identification of novel amelogenin-binding proteins by proteomics analysis. [PDF]
Emdogain (enamel matrix derivative, EMD) is well recognized in periodontology. It is used in periodontal surgery to regenerate cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.

The Role of Amelogenin Protein in the Development of Human Primary Teeth [PDF]
Background: Tooth development involves reciprocal interactions between the oral epithelium and ectomesenchyme. The inner layer cells of the enamel organ (EO), known as the inner enamel epithelium (IEE), undergo differentiation into preameloblasts and ...

Evolutionary analysis of “hagfish amelogenin” [PDF]
Hagfishes lack mineralized tissues and teeth. Part of a cDNA strand, allegedly from amelogenin, the major gene involved in enamel formation in mammals, has recently been cloned in a hagfish (Slavkin and Diekwish, Anat. Rec., 1996;245:131-150). This cloning is of great interest because it could change the current view about the evolution of mineralized ...

Amelogenin supramolecular assembly in nanospheres defined by a complex helix-coil-PPII helix 3D-structure. [PDF]
Tooth enamel, the hardest material in the human body, is formed within a self-assembled matrix consisting mostly of amelogenin proteins. Here we have determined the complete mouse amelogenin structure under physiological conditions and defined ...

Distribution of the amelogenin protein in developing, injured and carious human teeth
Amelogenin is the major enamel matrix protein with key roles in amelogenesis. Although for many decades amelogenin was considered to be exclusively expressed by ameloblasts, more recent studies have shown that amelogenin is also expressed in other dental
