Odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein nature of the amyloid found in calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors and unerupted tooth follicles

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported that the amyloid found in three patients with calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors (CEOT) was composed of N-terminal fragments of a putative 153-residue protein specified by a gene designated FLJ20513 now known to represent exons 5 through 10 of the odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM) locus that encodes a 279-residue polypeptide. Confirmation of the amyloidogenic...
