Summary: A structural constituent of tooth enamel. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ameloblast differentiation; amelogenesis; and positive regulation of enamel mineralization. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in lower jaw molar; molar enamel organ; and upper jaw incisor. Used to study amelogenesis imperfecta type 1B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 1B and amelogenesis imperfecta type 1C. Orthologous to human ENAM (enamelin).

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.
