Inactivation of the Odontogenic ameloblast-associated gene affects the integrity of the junctional epithelium and gingival healing
28 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Odontogenic ameloblast-associated (ODAM) belongs to the secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein (SCPP) gene cluster. It is expressed by the epithelial ameloblasts during the accrued mineralisation of enamel and by cells of the junctional epithelium (JE), a specialised portion of the gingiva that plays a critical role in periodontal health. In both cases, ODAM localises at the interface between the cells and the...
