1 These findings suggest (1) two forms of TRAP molecules, differing only by cleavage of a carboxy-terminal dipeptide, are a general feature of human and other mammalian enamel proteins, probably being derived by postsecretory cleavage from the primary extracellular amelogenin; and (2) in human developing enamel four forms of TRAPs may arise either from polymorphism at the level of the gene, or by posttranscriptional alternative splicing of amelogenin mRNAs, coupled with specific post-secretory proteolytic processing.
