ODAM

protein-coding

odontogenic, ameloblast associated

Gene summary

Involved in several processes, including odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in wound healing. Located in several cellular components, including nucleoplasm; obsolete extracellular space; and supramolecular fiber. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_017855.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Tooth-associated epithelia protein that probably plays a role in odontogenesis, the complex process that results in the initiation and generation of the tooth. May be incorporated in the enamel matrix at the end of mineralization process. Involved in the induction of RHOA activity via interaction with ARHGEF and expression of downstream factors such as ROCK. Plays a role in attachment of the junctional epithelium to the tooth surface. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25911094}.;
