[6] This protein is formed by ameloblasts during the early secretory to late maturation stages of amelogenesis.

Ameloblastin helps in the growth of a crystalline enameloid layer consisting of randomly oriented short enamel crystals.

This difference in localization is thought to maintain the boundary between rod and interrod enamel.

[6] Other possible actions include bone remodeling and repair, although this function has yet to be definitively proven.

[9] These mutations are rare, and follow an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
