Abstract excerpt
Amelogenin plays a crucial role in tooth enamel formation, and mutations on X-chromosomal amelogenin cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). Amelogenin pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) is highly alternatively spliced, and during alternative splicing, exon4 is mostly skipped, leading to the formation of a microRNA (miR-exon4) that has been suggested to function in enamel and bone formation. While delivering the...
