Entrez Summary: Dental enamel forms the outer cap of teeth and is the hardest substance found in vertebrates. This gene is thought to encode an extracellular matrix acidic phosphoprotein that has a function in enamel mineralization during amelogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with recessive hypomineralized amelogenesis imperfecta. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012].
UniProt Summary: May promote nucleation of hydroxyapatite. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22901946}.
