Description:
Ameloblasts of Slc13a5R337*/R337* mice, in the early stage of enamel formation, contain a large number of secondary lysosomes (orange) likely due to a significant amount of proteins being redirected for degradation. The Slc13a5R337* mouse model was generated using CRISPRcas9 gene-targeting to introduce a premature stop codon at Slc13a5R337 homologous to human mutation SLC13A5R333* that resulted in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 25 (DEE25) and amelogenesis imperfecta (MIM#615915).
