Expression of odontogenic ameloblast-associated and amelotin proteins in the junctional epithelium

Clarice Nishio et al. Periodontol 2000. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Two novel proteins - odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein and amelotin - have recently been identified in maturation-stage ameloblasts and in the junctional epithelium. This article reviews the structure and function of the junctional epithelium, the pattern of expression of odontogenic ameloblast-associated and amelotin proteins and the potential involvement of these proteins in the formation and regeneration of the junctional epithelium.
