| Research Abstract |
Emdogain (enamel matrix derivative, EMD) is well recognized in periodontology, and it is used in periodontal surgery to stimulate regeneration of periodontal tissues. In this research, we investigated the proteins bound to amelogenin, to elucidate the molecules involved in the periodontal tissue regeneration. We identified new amelogenin binding proteins, YB-1 (human Y-box binding protein-1), and several cytoskeletal proteins. Our data suggest that these proteins are involved in regeneration of periodontal tissues by binding to amelogenin.
