Tuftelinis an acidicphosphorylatedglycoproteinfound intooth enamel.In humans, the tuftelin protein is encoded by theTUFT1gene.[5][6]It is an acidic protein that is thought to play a role in dental enamel mineralization and is implicated in caries susceptibility. It is also thought to be involved with adaptation to hypoxia, mesenchymal stem cell function, and neurotrophin nerve growth factor mediated neuronal differentiation.[7]

Classification

[edit]

There are two kinds of enamel proteins:amelogeninsand nonamelogenins. Tuftelin falls under nonamelogenins.[8]

Function

[edit]

This protein is formed for a short time duringamelogenesis.The function of tuftelins is under contention, but it is proposed that it acts to start the mineralization process of enamel duringtooth development.[9][10]

Other significant proteins in enamel areamelogenins,enamelins,andameloblastins.

Research

[edit]

The human encodinggenefor tuftelin (TUFT1) was cloned by Profs. Danny Deutsch and Aharon Palmon from theHebrew University-HadassahSchool of Dental MedicineinJerusalem.[6]

Interactions

[edit]

Tuftelin has been shown tointeractwithTFIP11.[11]
