Description : AMTN belongs to the amelotin family. It could be a cell adhesion protein involved in the maturation of tooth enamel. AMTN is a recently discovered secreted enamel protein predominantly expressed during the maturation stage of enamel formation. It accumulates in a basal lamina-like structure at the interface between ameloblasts and enamel mineral and it co-localizes with another recently described enamel protein, odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM). Recombinant human AMTN protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Q&As (11)

Ask a question
How is the AMTN protein synthesized and processed? 04/24/2023

The AMTN protein is synthesized in dental cells as a precursor molecule, known as preproamelotin. This precursor undergoes post-translational modifications within the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, including cleavage of the signal peptide, glycosylation, and phosphorylation, to form the mature AMTN protein. The mature AMTN protein is then secreted into the extracellular space where it functions in dental tissue development.

Are there any known interactions of the AMTN protein with other proteins? 01/21/2023

Several studies have identified potential interactions of the AMTN protein with other proteins involved in tooth development and mineralization. For example, AMTN has been reported to interact with the enamelin protein, which is another critical component of enamel formation.

Are there any genetic disorders associated with mutations in the AMTN gene? 05/07/2021

Yes, mutations in the AMTN gene have been linked to a rare genetic disorder called amelogenesis imperfecta. This condition affects the formation and mineralization of dental enamel, leading to abnormal tooth development, enamel defects, and dental abnormalities.

Are there any other tissues or organs where the AMTN protein is expressed? 02/16/2020

The AMTN protein is primarily expressed in dental tissues, including enamel, dentin, and cementum. However, there is emerging evidence to suggest some low-level expression of AMTN in other tissues. For example, studies have detected AMTN expression in salivary glands, oral mucosa, and certain types of cancer cells. Further research is needed to explore the extent of AMTN expression in non-dental tissues and its potential physiological significance.

What are some clinical implications of AMTN mutations? 07/17/2019

Mutations in the AMTN gene have been associated with various types of amelogenesis imperfecta, a group of inherited disorders characterized by defects in enamel formation. These mutations can lead to enamel abnormalities such as thin enamel, enamel loss, enamel hypoplasia (reduced enamel formation), and enamel that is prone to breakdown or staining.

What are the functions of the AMTN protein in dental tissue development? 07/03/2018

The AMTN protein plays a crucial role in dental tissue development, particularly in the formation and mineralization of enamel. Enamel is the outer layer of the tooth and is the hardest tissue in the human body. AMTN contributes to enamel development by regulating the growth and organization of enamel crystals, promoting their alignment and proper arrangement. AMTN also interacts with other enamel matrix proteins, facilitating their assembly and secretion, ultimately contributing to the formation of a strong and durable enamel layer.

How can AMTN mutations cause amelogenesis imperfecta? 06/20/2018

Mutations in the AMTN gene can lead to amelogenesis imperfecta, a condition characterized by abnormal enamel formation. These mutations often disrupt the structure or function of the AMTN protein, leading to impaired enamel maturation, decreased enamel thickness, or loss of enamel formation altogether. These defects can result in enamel that is poorly mineralized, softer than normal, or prone to chipping, resulting in the dental abnormalities observed in amelogenesis imperfecta patients.

Is the expression of AMTN regulated by any specific factors or signaling pathways? 04/19/2018

The expression of AMTN is regulated by multiple factors and signaling pathways involved in tooth development. Studies have shown that AMTN expression is influenced by transcription factors such as Runx2 and Osterix, which are key regulators of tooth mineralization. Additionally, various signaling pathways, including the Wnt and BMP pathways, appear to be involved in the regulation of AMTN expression.

What are the structural features of the AMTN protein? 01/07/2018

The AMTN protein is known to contain an N-terminal signal peptide that aids in its secretion from cells. It also has a conserved C-terminal domain known as the "ASAP1 domain" that is characteristic of AMTN proteins. This domain is thought to play a role in protein-protein interactions and the formation of protein complexes.

Can AMTN protein be used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes? 09/18/2017

The AMTN protein has the potential to be used for diagnostic purposes, particularly in identifying genetic mutations associated with amelogenesis imperfecta. Genetic testing for AMTN mutations can help diagnose the condition and provide valuable information for personalized treatment planning.

Are there any known functional variations or polymorphisms in the AMTN gene? 09/02/2017

Several studies have identified functional variations and polymorphisms in the AMTN gene that may have implications for dental health and disease. For example, certain variations in the AMTN gene have been associated with an increased risk of dental caries (tooth decay) and susceptibility to periodontal disease. Additionally, some polymorphisms in the AMTN gene have been linked to variations in enamel thickness and tooth shape.
