TET2 tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2

Gene ID: 54790, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MDS; IMD75; KIAA1546

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a methylcytosine dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. The encoded protein is involved in myelopoiesis, and defects in this gene have been associated with several myeloproliferative disorders. Two variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
