Abstract excerpt
The enamel protein amelogenin binds to the GlcNAc-mimicking peptide (GMp) (Ravindranath, R. M. H., Tam, W., Nguyen, P., and Fincham, A. G. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 39654-39661). The GMp motif is found in the N-terminal region of CK14, a differentiation marker for ameloblasts. The binding affinity of CK14 and amelogenin was confirmed by dosimetric binding of CK14 to recombinant amelogenin (rM179), and to the...
