Identification of a Suppressor Element in the Amelogenin Promoter

Journal of Dental Research, 2009
Amelogenin expression is regulated in a cell-type- specific manner. Investigators have previously identified an enhancer element by using the 5′ flanking sequence of the amelogenin promoter. However, the cell-type-specific regulation of the amelogenin gene remains poorly understood. In some genes, the first intron regulates tissue-specific expression.

Of Mice and Men: Anatomy of the Amelogenin Gene

Connective Tissue Research, 1989
Mammalian enamel matrix is composed of two principal proteins, the enamelins and amelogenin. Recombinant complementary DNA (cDNA) molecules for the predominant mouse amelogenin have been identified, characterized by direct determination of the DNA sequence, and used as a specific hybridization probe.

Regulation of amelogenin gene expression.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1997
The amelogenins are found uniquely in enamel, where they constitute the predominant class of secreted matrix proteins and where they play a fundamental role in normal enamel formation. To better understand the high level of tissue-specific expression, we cloned the bovine X and Y chromosomal amelogenin genes and the murine amelogenin gene and ...

Immunohistochemical localization of amelogenin in human odontogenic tumors, using a polyclonal antibody against bovine amelogenin

Medical Electron Microscopy, 2001
In the present study, we investigated the localization of amelogenin in odontogenic tumors, using an anti-amelogenin polyclonal antibody. In order to make the antibody, antisera against an amelogenin fraction obtained from the enamel matrix of unerupted bovine tooth was raised in rabbits.
