Analysis of Co-assembly and Co-localization of Ameloblastin and Amelogenin
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Epithelially-derived ameloblasts secrete extracellular matrix proteins including amelogenin, enamelin and ameloblastin. Complex intermolecular interactions among these proteins are believed to be important in controlling enamel formation. Here we provide

Alan Fincham and the era of enamel protein Biochemistry
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Enamel research experienced an unprecedented period of growth during the latter part of the 20th century until today. This growth is in part due to the contributions of a number of iconic scientists such as Alan G.

The Exon 6ABC Region of Amelogenin mRNA Contribute to Increased Levels of Amelogenin mRNA through Amelogenin Protein-enhanced mRNA Stabilization [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 We recently demonstrated that the reuptake of full-length amelogenin protein results in increased levels of amelogenin mRNA through enhanced mRNA stabilization (Xu, L., Harada, H., Tamaki, T. Y., Matsumoto, S., Tanaka, J., and Taniguchi, A. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 2257-2262).

Minimal Amelogenin Domain for Enamel Formation
JOM, 2021 Amelogenin is the most abundant matrix protein guiding hydroxyapatite formation in enamel, the durable bioceramic tissue that covers vertebrate teeth. Here, we sought to refine structure-function for an amelogenin domain based on in vitro data showing a 42 amino acid amelogenin-derived peptide (ADP7) mimicked formation of hydroxyapatite similar to that

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2021 Background/purpose: There are few studies comparing the expression of enamel proteins, such as amelogenin, and cytokeratins in cyst and odontogenic tumors like in ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst, indicating that amelogenin could be a potential ...

New insights into the functions of enamel matrices in calcified tissues
Japanese Dental Science Review, 2014 Ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins, including amelogenin, ameloblastin, enamelin, amelotin, and Apin/odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (Apin/ODAM). Amelogenin is the major protein component of the enamel matrix.
