Biomineralization of Enamel and Dentin Mediated by Matrix Proteins

Journal of dentistry research, 2021
Biomineralization of enamel, dentin, and bone involves the deposition of apatite mineral crystals within an organic matrix. Bone and teeth are classic examples of biomaterials with unique biomechanical properties that are crucial to their function.

Sodium/(calcium + potassium) exchanger NCKX4 optimizes KLK4 activity in the enamel matrix microenvironment to regulate ECM modeling

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Enamel development is a process in which extracellular matrix models from a soft proteinaceous matrix to the most mineralized tissue in vertebrates. Patients with mutant NCKX4, a gene encoding a K+-dependent Na+/Ca2+—exchanger, develop a hypomineralized ...
