Gene information for AMELX (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID265
Official gene symbolAMELX
Full nameamelogenin, X-linked
Aliases,AIH1,ALGN,AMG,AMGL,AMGX,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the amelogenin family of extracellular matrix proteins. Amelogenins are involved in biomineralization during tooth enamel development. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
