| Research Abstract |
To find genes, important for tooth development, we had generated tooth cDNA library, and have been trying to find novel and functional genes. So far, we have identified a novel matrix protein gene, named TM14/Fibluin7. We found that TM14/Fibluin 7 has an important role for odontoblast attachment. And also, we have identified a hard tissue specific novel gap junction gene, and have been analyzing its function in tooth, cartilage and bone development.
