Abstract
Improved understanding of dental enamel development will benefit not only dentistry but also biomedicine more generally. Rat and mouse models of enamel development are relatively well characterized and experimentally powerful. However, the diminutive size of murine teeth makes them difficult to study using standard proteomics approaches. Here, we describe gel-based proteomic methods that enable parallel quantification, identification, and functional characterization of proteins from developing rat and mouse teeth. These refined methods are applicable to other scarce samples including human enamel defects.
