3.4.24.B6 aggrecan + H2O cleavage site is Asn341-Phe342 3.4.24.B6 ameloblastin + H2O N-terminal ameloblastin cleavage products of 13, 15, and 17 kDa accumulate in the sheath space throughout the enamel layer 3.4.24.B6 ameloblastin + H2O MMP-20 processes ameloblastin during the secretory stage of amelogenesis, cleaves glycosylated recombinant porcine ameloblastin after Pro2, Gln130, Gln139, Arg170, and Ala222. MMP-20 generates the 23-kDa ameloblastin starting at Tyr223, as well as the 17-kDa (Val1-Arg170) and 15-kDa (Val1-Gln130) ameloblastin cleavage products that concentrate in the sheath space during the secretory stage 3.4.24.B6 amelogenin + H2O - 3.4.24.B6 amelogenin + H2O amelogenin with a proline 41 to threonine mutation is hydrolyzed at a lower rate by matrix metalloproteinase 20 (MMP20), resulting in an inherited tooth enamel defect, amelogenesis 3.4.24.B6 amelogenin + H2O amelogenin constitutes more than 90% of enamel extracellular matrix proteins in secretory-stage enamel 3.4.24.B6 amelogenin + H2O MMP-20 is involved in amelogenin processing and degradation 3.4.24.B6 amelogenin + H2O most of the secreted substrate is cleaved after Ser148 to generate the 20000 Da amelogenin (Met1-Ser148), which in turn is cleaved after Trp45 to yield the tyrosine-rich amelogenin polypeptide (Met1-Trp45) and the 13000 Da amelogenin (Leu46-Ser148) 3.4.24.B6 amylogenin + H2O involved in tooth formation 3.4.24.B6 cartilage oligomeric matrix protein + H2O 100 kDa protein substrate
