Function | Dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and plays a key role in epigenetic chromatin reprogramming in the zygote following fertilization (PubMed:31928709). 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 (By similarity). Selectively binds to the promoter region of target genes and contributes to regulate the expression of numerous developmental genes (PubMed:23217707). In zygotes, DNA demethylation occurs selectively in the paternal pronucleus before the first cell division, while the adjacent maternal pronucleus and certain paternally-imprinted loci are protected from this process. Participates in DNA demethylation in the paternal pronucleus by mediating conversion of 5mC into 5hmC, 5fC and 5caC. Does not mediate DNA demethylation of maternal pronucleus because of the presence of DPPA3/PGC7 on maternal chromatin that prevents TET3-binding to chromatin (By similarity). 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 (PubMed:23353889). Binds preferentially to DNA containing cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) dinucleotides over CpH (H=A, T, and C), hemimethylated-CpG and hemimethylated-hydroxymethyl- CpG (PubMed:29276034). |

Background
Anti-Tet3 is expressed in colon, muscle, adrenal gland and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Anti-Tet3 is involved in the epigenetic chromatin reprogramming of a zygote after its fertilization, and the demethylation occurs before the first cell division in the paternal pronucleus. Tet 3 antibody cannot bind to the maternal pronucleus chromatin due to DPPA3/PGC7 chromatin presence. Tet 3 functions as the dioxygenase which synthesizes a hydroxyl group to 5-methylcystosine (5mC) to form 5-hydroxymethylcystosine. Tet3 mediates the formation of 5-formylcystosine from 5hmC and subsequently 5fC to 5-carboxylcystosine, and consequently Tet3 plays an active role in catalyzing those conversions which have been suggested as the first step for cytosine DNA de-methylation. Tet 3 also recruits O-GlcNAc transferase OGT to aid H2B GlcNAcylation by OGT. Anti-TET3 antibodies are ideal for researchers interested in Epigenetics, Cancer, Chromatin Research and Histone research.
