Transgenic Mice that Express Normal and Mutated Amelogenins
1 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Amelogenin proteins are secreted by ameloblasts within the enamel organ during tooth development. To better understand the function of the 180-amino-acid amelogenin (M180), and to test the hypothesis that a single proline-to-threonine (P70T) change would lead to an enamel defect similar to amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) in humans, we generated transgenic mice with expression of M180, or M180 with the...
