title: [Expression and purification of human amelogenin mature peptide in Escherichia coli].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the expression and purification route for human amelogenin mature peptide in Escherichia coli and obtain the purified amelogenin (AMG) mature peptide.
  
  
  METHODS
  Recombined plasmid pGEX-4T-1-AMG was transformed to Escherichia coli BL21. After expression, AMG was purified with glutathione S-transferase fusion protein purification system (GSTrapFF) column.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting hybridization results showed that 45,000 GST-AMG fusing protein and 19,000 target AMG mature peptide were obtained successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  pGEX-4T-1-AMG-BL21 system is used successfully to express and purify human AMG mature peptide.
