Numerous early studies, using immunohistochemistry, identified amelogenins in endocytic vesicles and lysosomes within odontoblasts before mineralization of mantle dentin in the mouse (Nakamura & Ozawa, 1997), along the cell surfaces and processes of odontoblast, and in young odontoblast of the hamster (Karg et al., 1997).
