In the DNA of higher eukaryotes, hydrolytic deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine leads to the formation of G/T mismatches. In addition, TET proteins oxidize 5- methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5- formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). TDG / Thymine-DNA glycosylase functions to correct G/T mispairs to G/C pairs and plays a role in active DNA demethylation by recognizing 5fC and 5caC and converting these to cystosine through the base excision repair (BER) pathway. TDG / Thymine-DNA glycosylase antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Western blot, it has been shown to react with Mouse samples.
