| Physiology | In vitro, enamelysin catalyzes all of the amelogenin cleavages that are known to occur during the secretory stage in vivo, and it is probably the enzyme responsible for the processing of all enamel proteins (Simmer & Hu, 2002). |
| Knockout | The enamelysin null mouse has a severe tooth phenotype (Caterina et al., 2002). |
