Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 1, Ten-eleven Translocation Gene Protein 1 |
Description |
Tet1 protein is a deoxygenase catalyzing the demethylation of modified genomic DNA. Tet1 catalyzes the conversion of the 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), and mediate the conversion of 5hmC into 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and conversion of 5fC to 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) subsequentially. The process is the first step of DNA demethylation, and DNA methylation is the key marker of gene silencing. Therefore, Tet1 plays an important role in transcriptional regulation during early embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and maintaining pluripotency of stem cell.
