Sign in to saveAlso 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.

AMELY- Name
- amelogenin Y-linked
- Type
- protein-coding
- Chromosome
- Y
- Aliases
- AMGL, AMGY
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].
