Synonyms | KIAA1546 |
Function | Dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in active DNA demethylation. Has a preference for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in CpG motifs. Also mediates subsequent conversion of 5hmC into 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and conversion of 5fC to 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). Conversion of 5mC into 5hmC, 5fC and 5caC probably constitutes the first step in cytosine demethylation. Methylation at the C5 position of cytosine bases is an epigenetic modification of the mammalian genome which plays an important role in transcriptional regulation. In addition to its role in DNA demethylation, also involved in the recruitment of the O-GlcNAc transferase OGT to CpG-rich transcription start sites of active genes, thereby promoting histone H2B GlcNAcylation by OGT. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Localization to chromatin depends upon monoubiquitination at Lys-1299. |
Tissue Location | Broadly expressed. Highly expressed in hematopoietic cells; highest expression observed in granulocytes Expression is reduced in granulocytes from peripheral blood of patients affected by myelodysplastic syndromes. |

Background
Tet2 antibody is a dioxygenase enzyme which is associated with the addition of the hydroxyl group to 5-methylcystosine (5mC) to form 5-hydroxymethylcystosine. Tet2 mediates the formation of 5-formylcystosine from 5hmC and subsequently 5fC to 5-carboxylcystosine, and consequently Tet2 plays an active role in catalyzing those conversions which have been suggested as the first step for active mammalian DNA de-methylation. Tet2 enzyme aids in the epigenetic modification of mammalian cystosine bases, ultimately affecting transcriptional regulation. Additionally methylcystosine dioxygenase Tet2 recruits O-GlcNAc transferase OGT enzyme to CpG-rich transcription start sites of the gene, encouraging H2B GlcNAcylation by OGT. Anti-TET2 antibodies are ideal for researchers interested in Epigenetics, Cancer, Chromatin Research and Histone research.
