The Human Tuftelin Gene and the Expression of Tuftelin in Mineralizing and Nonmineralizing Tissues

1 Jan 2002

Abstract excerpt

Tuftelin has been suggested to play an important role during the development and mineralization of enamel, but its precise function is still unclear. This article reviews major milestones in the discovery, structural characterization, expression, localization, and conservation of tuftelin in different vertebrate species. It focuses on the structure of the human tuftelin gene, which has recently been deciphered...
