Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Seven of these genes are enamel specific (ACP4, AMBN, AMELX, AMTN, ENAM, KLK4, MMP20) and two are related to dentin/tooth formation (...)." 10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107463
Mutation Description "The most inclusive mutations in ENAM include a premature stop codon in exon 6 that is shared by Eschrichtius, Megaptera,and three species of Balaenoptera; a premature stop codon in exon 8 that is shared by Caperea, Megaptera, and four species of Balaenoptera; and a premature stop codon in exon 8 that is shared by all four balaenids." 10.1016/j.ympev.2022.107463
