AMELY
Also known as AMGL, AMGY, amelogenin, Y-linked, amelogenin Y-linked
Amelogenin, Y isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMELY gene. AMELY is located on the Y chromosome and encodes a form of amelogenin. Amelogenin is an extracellular matrix protein involved in biomineralization during tooth enamel development.
