| 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}. | |
