Abstract
Enamelysin is a recently isolated member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading enzymes. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of the mouse enamelysin cDNA. Expression of mouse enamelysin was detectable only in ameloblasts and odontoblasts of developing teeth. Characterization of mouse enamelysin demonstrated that it is highly conserved in both its sequence content and pattern of expression relative to the porcine, human, and bovine homologues previously described.Entities:
