What is Statherin?
A naturally occurring salivary phosphopeptide that binds hydroxyapatite and helps maintain calcium phosphate supersaturation in the mouth. It is important for enamel pellicle formation and inhibition of pathologic mineral deposition.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
enamel pellicle stabilization
calcium phosphate homeostasis
remineralization support
anti-adhesion
Research Summary
Statherin has been extensively studied as a key regulator of enamel mineral equilibrium and pellicle biology. It is used in biomimetic dentistry research to model or improve enamel protection and remineralization.

P11-4
Self-assembling peptide P11-4 (Ac-QQRFEWEFEQQ-NH2)
A synthetic self-assembling peptide designed to form a scaffold in demineralized enamel and promote biomimetic remineralization. It is one of the best-known peptide approaches for early caries lesion repair.
