MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the amelogenin family of extracellular matrix proteins. Amelogenins are involved in biomineralization during tooth enamel development. Mutations in a related gene on chromosome X cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in brittle teeth and reduced enamel thickness. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a T to C transition at base pair 165615945 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000086 for the Amelx gene on chromosome X (GTATGTAGC ->GCATGTAGC). Multiple transcripts of the Amelx gene are displayed on Ensembl and Vega. The mutation is located within intron 5 from the ATG exon, two nucleotides from the previous exon. The Amelx gene contains 8 total exons using Genbank record NM_001081978.2. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method.

Protein Function and Prediction

The Amelx gene encodes multiple isoforms of amelogenin, a secreted extracellular matrix factor involved in biomineralization of teeth (Uniprot P63277).  Isoform 1 is 219 amino acids long according to Genbank record NM_001081978.  Homozygous mutation of this gene in mice results in brittle teeth and reduced enamel thickness.  In human males, mutations in AMELX cause hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (OMIM #301200), a defect of dental enamel formation.
