Enamelin (ENAM) , is a protein that is produced in the teeth of higher mammals and plays a role in the mineralization and structuring of tooth enamel . Mutations in the ENAM gene can lead to a defective enamelin protein in humans, which in turn is the cause of the metabolic disease amelogenesis imperfecta .
The enamel is a hochmineralisiertes tissue to 85% of unusually large hydroxyapatite exists. This unusual structure is probably caused by the ameloblasts . They interact with the so-called organic matrix molecules, namely enamelin, amelogenin (AMELX; MIM 300391), ameloblastin (AMBN; MIM 601259), tuftelin (TUFT1; MIM 600087), dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP; MIM 125485) and a number of other enzymes. Enamelin is the largest protein in the enamel matrix of developing teeth and makes up approximately 5% of the total protein matrix of tooth enamel.
