Sodium-Calcium Exchangers in Rat Ameloblasts

Although the central role of ameloblasts in synthesis and resorption of enamel matrix proteins during amelogenesis is well documented, the Ca2+-transport/extrusion mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. To clarify Ca2+-transport in rat ameloblasts, we investigated expression and localization of N...
