UniProt functional annotation for Q9Y5K2

UniProt code: Q9Y5K2.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Has a major role in enamel formation (PubMed:15235027). Required during the maturation stage of tooth development for clearance of enamel proteins and normal structural patterning of the crystalline matrix (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0M1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15235027}.
 
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in prostate.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. The N-glycan structures are of complex diantennary or triantennary type, which may be further modified with up to 2 sialic acid residues. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0M1}.
Disease: Amelogenesis imperfecta, hypomaturation type, 2A1 (AI2A1) [MIM:204700]: A defect of enamel formation. The disorder involves both primary and secondary dentitions. The teeth have a shiny agar jelly appearance and the enamel is softer than normal. Brown pigment is present in middle layers of enamel. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15235027}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Kallikrein subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00274}.
