WD repeat-containing protein 72 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR72 gene.^[5] WDR72 contains 7 WD40 repeats, which are predicted to form the blades of a 7 beta propeller structure.

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene cause autosomal-recessive hypomaturation amelogenesis imperfecta.^[6]

Enamelin is an enamel matrix protein (EMPs), that in humans is encoded by the ENAM gene. It is part of the non-amelogenins, which comprise 10% of the total enamel matrix proteins. It is one of the key proteins thought to be involved in amelogenesis. The formation of enamel's intricate architecture is thought to be rigorously controlled in ameloblasts through interactions of various organic matrix protein molecules that include: enamelin, amelogenin, ameloblastin, tuftelin, dentine sialophosphoprotein, and a variety of enzymes. Enamelin is the largest protein (~168kDa) in the enamel matrix of developing teeth and is the least abundant of total enamel matrix proteins. It is present predominantly at the growing enamel surface.

Cartilage associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTAP gene.

The CLCN family of voltage-dependent chloride channel genes comprises nine members which demonstrate quite diverse functional characteristics while sharing significant sequence homology. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the electric excitability of the skeletal muscle membrane. Mutations in this gene cause two forms of inherited human muscle disorders: recessive generalized myotonia congenita (Becker) and dominant myotonia (Thomsen).

Ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 is a type of protein that in humans is encoded by the GDAP1 gene.

Transmembrane protease, serine 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TMPRSS3 gene.

Tubulin-specific chaperone E is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBCE gene.

Keratocan (KTN) also known as keratan sulfate proteoglycan keratocan, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KERA gene.

Tubby-related protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TULP1 gene.

Bardet–Biedl syndrome 2 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BBS2 gene.

WD repeat-containing protein 36 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR36 gene.

Delta-like 3 (Drosophila), also known as DLL3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DLL3 gene. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

WD repeat-containing protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR6 gene.

WD repeat-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR3 gene.

WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 4 (WIPI-4) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR45 gene. Mutations in this gene cause a distinct form of Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) called Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN).

Coiled-coil and C2 domain-containing protein 2A that in humans is encoded by the CC2D2A gene.

Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 50 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRRC50 gene.

FAM83H is a gene in humans that encodes a protein known as FAM83H. FAM83H is targeted for the nucleus and it predicted to play a role in the structural development and calcification of tooth enamel.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a congenital disorder which presents with a rare abnormal formation of the enamel or external layer of the crown of teeth, unrelated to any systemic or generalized conditions. Enamel is composed mostly of mineral, that is formed and regulated by the proteins in it. Amelogenesis imperfecta is due to the malfunction of the proteins in the enamel as a result of abnormal enamel formation via amelogenesis.

FAM20A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM20A gene.

Jalili syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the combination of cone-rod dystrophy of the retina and amelogenesis imperfecta. It was characterized in 1988 by Dr. I. K. Jalili and Dr. N. J. D. Smith, following the examination of 29 members of an inbred Arab family living within the Gaza Strip.
