Expression of amelogenin in mouse tooth

Amelx; Algn; Amg; Amgl

Species: mouse
Location in mouse genome: chromosome X, 157310884 - 157318072 (UCSC, assembly October 2003)
Tooth: molar
Method: in situ hybridization (radioactive), probe: 772b


Bell stage
No expression: oral epithelium, outer enamel epithelium, inner enamel epithelium, stratum intermedia, stellate reticulum, dental papilla, dental sac

Late bell (differentiation) stage
No expression: outer enamel epithelium, stratum intermedia, stellate reticulum, preameloblasts, dental papilla, dental sac, preodontoblasts

Secretory stage
Expression: ameloblasts
No expression: outer enamel epithelium, stratum intermedia, stellate reticulum, dental papilla, dental sac, odontoblasts

Root development
No expression: dental papilla, odontoblasts, cementoblasts, periodontal ligament

Mutations in amelogenin gene cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta..
