Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Expression pattern:** ENAM is expressed in a variety of cell types, including double negative thymocytes, blood vessel endothelial cells, colon goblet cells, and intestinal epithelial cells. 2. **Protein structure:** Enamelin is a small, secreted protein consisting of 32 amino acids, with a characteristic 3D structure that allows it to interact with other proteins and lipids. 3. **Function:** Enamelin is involved in the regulation of enamel mineralization, protein binding, and post-translational protein modification. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Ameloblast differentiation:** ENAM is essential for the differentiation of ameloblasts, the cells responsible for tooth enamel formation. 2. **Amelogenesis:** Enamelin regulates the mineralization of tooth enamel, ensuring the proper formation of this hard tissue. 3. **Biomineral tissue development:** ENAM is involved in the development of biomineral tissues, including tooth enamel and bone. 4. **Endoplasmic reticulum lumen:** Enamelin interacts with proteins and lipids in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, influencing protein synthesis and secretion. 5. **Protein binding:** ENAM binds to various proteins, including insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding proteins (IGFBPs), regulating their transport and uptake. 6. **Post-translational protein modification:** Enamelin is involved in post-translational protein modification, including phosphorylation and protein binding. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Tooth enamel defects:** Mutations in the ENAM gene have been associated with tooth enamel defects, including hypoplastic enamel and enamel hypoplasia. 2. **Dental caries:** ENAM has been implicated in the development of dental caries, as impaired enamel mineralization can lead to increased susceptibility to caries. 3. **Oral health:** ENAM is also involved in the regulation of oral health, influencing the development and maintenance of other oral tissues, including the periodontium. 4. **Systemic diseases:** Recent studies have suggested that ENAM may also play a role in the development of systemic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, the ENAM gene is a critical regulator of tooth enamel development and maintenance, with implications for oral health and systemic disease. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the functions of ENAM and its role in human health and disease.
