Molecular composition of the protein matrix of developing human dental enamel.
The protein matrix of fetal human dental enamel was isolated and fractionated by chromatographic and electrophoretic procedures. Nine principal protein fractions were isolated and characterized. Possible inter-relationships of these proteins and their comparison with data from other species were examined. Significant differences between human proteins and those described for cow or pig enamel were identified.
