Enamelin was described in older literature as an EDTA soluble enamel protein. It turned out in recent research to be albumin derived from blood contamination.

The current description of enamelin is a protein coded at 4q13.3 and is a modulator for mineral formation and crystal elongation in enamel. Significant proteins in enamel are amelogenins and ameloblastins.
