'''Enamelin''' was described in older literature as an EDTA soluble enamel protein. It accounts for the organic portion of [[Tooth_enamel|enamel]], which represents 4% of enamel's mass. It turned out in recent research to be albumin derived from blood contamination. |
|||
The current description of enamelin is a protein coded by the [[ENAM]] gene that is a modulator for mineral formation and crystal elongation in enamel. It is believed to surround the hydroxyapetite crystals in enamel. |
|||
Significant proteins in enamel are [[amelogenin]]s and [[ameloblastin]]s. |
