Description

tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2

Gene Summary

Enables DNA 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase activity and broad specificity oxidative DNA demethylase activity. Involved in regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within cell surface receptor signaling pathway; endothelial to hematopoietic transition; and hemopoiesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; eye; hematopoietic system; liver; and pleuroperitoneal region. Used to study myelodysplastic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); lung non-small cell carcinoma; and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human TET2 (tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
