Clone Names | 100311253 |
Gene ID | 265 |
---|---|
Other Names | Amelogenin, X isoform, AMELX, AMG, AMGX |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13169a was selected from the N-term region of AMELX. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | AMELX |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the amelogenin family ofextracellular matrix proteins. Amelogenins are involved inbiomineralization during tooth enamel development. Mutations inthis gene cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta. Alternativesplicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding differentisoforms.
