Summary: The 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, Mar 2008]

Amelotin is expressed in retinal pigment epithelium and localizes to hydroxyapatite deposits in dry age-related macular degeneration.
Title: Amelotin is expressed in retinal pigment epithelium and localizes to hydroxyapatite deposits in dry age-related macular degeneration.
TNF-alpha stimulates AMTN gene transcription in human gingival epithelial cells via C/EBP1, C/EBP2, and YY1 elements in the human AMTN gene promoter.
Title: Tumor necrosis factor-α stimulates human amelotin gene transcription in gingival epithelial cells.
Results show that AMTN and KLK4 are not essential for biological processes outside of the dentition or during the secretory stage of amelogenesis. Both KLK4 and AMTN proved to be essential for the maturation of dental enamel, a process that requires the removal of extracellularmatrix proteins and the deposition of ions on the sides of enamel crystallites.
Title: Maturation stage enamel malformations in Amtn and Klk4 null mice.
This study demonstrates for the first time that AMTN mutations cause non-syndromic human Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and explores the human phenotype, comparing it with that of mice with disrupted Amtn function.
Title: Deletion of amelotin exons 3-6 is associated with amelogenesis imperfecta.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
