Structural highlights
Disease
[FA20A_HUMAN] Amelogenesis imperfecta - nephrocalcinosis;Amelogenesis imperfecta and gingival hyperplasia syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[FA20A_HUMAN] Pseudokinase that acts as an allosteric activator of the Golgi serine/threonine protein kinase FAM20C and is involved in biomineralization of teeth. Forms a complex with FAM20C and increases the ability of FAM20C to phosphorylate the proteins that form the 'matrix' that guides the deposition of the enamel minerals.[1]
