Posttranslational Amelogenin Processing and Changes in Matrix Assembly during Enamel Development

Posttranslational Amelogenin Processing and Changes in Matrix Assembly during Enamel Development

The extracellular tooth enamel matrix is a unique, protein-rich environment that provides the structural basis for the growth of long and parallel oriented enamel crystals. Here we have conducted a series of in vivo and in vitro studies to characterize the changes in matrix shape and organization th...
