Dental enamel is produced thanks to a protein
American researchers have discovered the function of amelogenine protein in the formation of dental enamel and have released this finding in the journal Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Apparently, bone and enamel grow from crystals of calcium phosphate. However, in the case of enamel, amelogenine is a set of spheres that form crystals longer than in the bones. These long crystals are those that confer to the enamel a natural hardness, so the enamel is so effective to cover the teeth.
