Anti-Amelogenin, X isoform/AMELX Antibody

Amelogenin, X isoform/AMELX, also known as Leucine-rich Amelogenin peptide, or LRAP, and encoded by the gene AMELX/AMG/AMGX, is an important protein in the biomineralization of teeth. AMELX appears to regulate the formation of crystallites during the secretory stage of tooth enamel development. AMELX is a secreted extracellular matrix protein that has many isoforms. Interestingly mutations in the AMELX protein are associated with changes in enamel microstructure that are linked with severe dental disease, and the various isoforms of AMELX protein all aid in increasing enamel thickness of the developing tooth.
