Identification of the C-terminal region in Amelogenesis Imperfecta causative protein WDR72 required for Golgi localization.

Abstract excerpt

Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) represents a group of hereditary conditions that manifest tooth enamel defects. Several causative mutations in the WDR72 gene have been identified and patients with WDR72 mutations have brown (or orange-brown) discolored enamel, rough enamel surface, early loss of enamel after tooth eruption, and severe attrition. Although the molecular function of WDR72 is not yet fully understood, a...
