Reference: J:39157 Zeichner-David M, et al., Timing of the expression of enamel gene products during mouse tooth development. Int J Dev Biol. 1997 Feb;41(1):27-38
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:6277131
Gene symbol: Tuft1
Gene name: tuftelin 1
Antibody: Anti-Tuftelin
Detection system: Biotinylated secondary antibody/[Strept]avidin
Results
Specimen 7A: postnatal day 7 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: tooth Strong Regionally restricted 7B , 7A Strong expression was detected in the dentin-enamel junction. Discrete clusters of ameloblasts were actively secreting Tuft1, which then appeared to diffuse within the enamel extracellular matrix.
TS28: enamel Strong Diffuse 7B , 7A Strong expression was detected in the enamel extracellular matrix.
TS28: dentin Absent 7B , 7A

Specimen 9A: embryonic day 17.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: lower jaw molar Present 9A Expression was detected in the extracellular matrix. It appears to be synthesized and secreted by pre-ameloblast cells.
TS25: lower jaw molar dental papilla Present 9A
