Amelogenin, Y isoform is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AMELY gene.[5][6] AMELY is located on the Y chromosome and encodes a form of amelogenin. Amelogenin is an extracellular matrix protein involved in biomineralization during tooth enamel development.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the related AMELX gene on the X chromosome cause X-linked amelogenesis imperfecta.[6]
