Ameloblastin (Ambn) is an extracellular matrix protein and member of the family of enamel‐
related gene products. Like amelogenin, Ambn is mainly associated with tooth development …

Abstract Ameloblastin (Ambn) and enamelin (Enam) play a pivotal role in enamel
mineralization. Previous studies have demonstrated that these enamel-related gene …

Proteins of the extracellular matrix often have multiple functions to facilitate complex tasks
ranging from signaling to structural support. Here we have focused on the function of one of …

Matrix molecules such as the enamel‐related calcium‐binding phosphoprotein ameloblastin
(AMBN) are expressed in multiple tissues, including teeth, bones, and cartilage. Here we …

Amelogenins, major components of developing enamel, are predominantly involved in the
formation of tooth enamel. Although amelogenins are also implicated in cementogenesis …

Ameloblastin (AMBN) is an enamel matrix protein produced by ameloblasts. It has been
suggested that AMBN might also be implicated in craniofacial bone formation. Our objective …

Arctigenin, a lignan-derived compound, is a constituent of the seeds of Arctium lappa.
Arctigenin was previously shown to inhibit osteoclastogenesis; however, this inhibitory …

Punicalagin is a bioactive polyphenol that is classified as an ellagitannin. Although
punicalagin has been shown to have various pharmacological effects, such as anti …

AIMS: BayK 8644 is an L-type Ca2+ channel agonist that enhances Ca2+ influx and
elevates cytosolic Ca2+. As intracellular calcium plays a key role in osteoclast formation, we …
