Prolyl-hydroxylase activity in odontoblasts from bovine incisor and premolar teeth.
Odontoblasts of incisor and premolar teeth showed high prolyl-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.2; proline, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase) activity, but the activities in other regions of these dental pulps were low. These results suggest that these odontoblasts are concerned with the biosynthesis and processing of dentine collagen.
