TY - JOUR TI - The enamelin (tuftelin) gene. AU - Deutsch, D AU - Palmon, A AU - Dafni, L AU - Catalano-Sherman, J AU - Young, M F AU - Fisher, L W T2 - The International Journal of Developmental Biology AB - This paper reviews the primary structure, characteristics and possible function of tuftelin/enamelin protein. It describes the distribution of tuftelin in the ameloblast cell and in the extracellular enamel matrix, employing high resolution protein-A gold immunocytochemistry. The chromosomal localization of the human tuftelin gene and its possible involvement in autosomally linked Amelogenesis Imperfecta, the most common hereditary disease of enamel, is also discussed.
