Emergence of saliva protein genes in the secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein (SCPP) locus and accelerated evolution in primates

2024-02-15

Abstract excerpt

Genes within the secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein (SCPP) family evolved in conjunction with major evolutionary milestones: the formation of a calcified skeleton in vertebrates, the emergence of tooth enamel in fish, and the introduction of lactation in mammals. The SCPP gene family also contains genes expressed primarily and abundantly in human saliva. Here, we explored the evolution of the saliva-related...
