Acid Dentin Lysates Increase Amelotin Expression in Oral Epithelial Cells and Gingival Fibroblasts
Amelotin (AMTN) is a secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein controlling the adhesion of epithelial cells to the tooth surface, forming a protective seal against the oral cavity. It can be proposed that signals released upon dentinolysis increase AMTN expression in periodontal cells, thereby helpin...
