| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth and positive regulation of enamel mineralization. Located in basement membrane and cell-cell junction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 3B. Orthologous to human AMTN (amelotin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit enamel hypomineralization. [provided by MGI curators] |
