Ameloblastin is the second most abundant enamel matrix protein, and is thought to be essential for ameloblast cell polarization, cell adhesion, and enamel mineralization. However, studies of ameloblastin's function and its molecular mechanism have been limited due to difficulty in obtaining recombinant ameloblastin in vitro. Here, we present a protocol for successful ameloblastin expression and purification in E. coli.
成釉蛋白是牙釉质基质中含量第二丰富的蛋白质,被认为对成釉细胞的极化、细胞黏附以及牙釉质矿化至关重要。然而,由于在体外难以获得重组成釉蛋白,关于成釉蛋白功能及其分子机制的研究一直有限。在此,我们介绍一种在大肠杆菌中成功表达和纯化成釉蛋白的方法。
