Gene information for AMTN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID401138
Official gene symbolAMTN
Full nameamelotin
Aliases,MGC148132,MGC148133,UNQ689,
Gene summaryThe mineralized portions of teeth, the dentin and enamel, are formed by mesenchyme-derived odontoblasts and epithelium-derived ameloblasts, respectively. As ameloblasts differentiate, they deposit specific proteins necessary for enamel formation, including amelogenin (AMELX; MIM 300391), enamelin (ENAM; MIM 606585), and ameloblastin (AMBN; MIM 601259), in the organic enamel matrix. Amelotin is specifically expressed in maturation-stage ameloblasts (Iwasaki et al., 2005 [PubMed 16304441]).[supplied by OMIM]
