A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of AMBN antibody, Alternative Names: AMBN control peptide, AMBN antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-AMBN Blocking Peptide, ameloblastin, enamel matrix protein Blocking Peptide
Ameloblastin is thought to represent an unique ameloblast-specific gene product that may be important in enamel matrix formation and mineralization. The gene is located on chromosome 4 near other genes associated with mineralized tissues: osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and bone morphogenetic protein 3. Based on its cytogenetic location, this gene is a candidate gene for one form of the disorder, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and/or the disorder, autosomal dominant amylogenesis imperfecta.
