Tet1 (Ten-Eleven Translocation-1, methylcytosine dioxygenase) is a protein that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) which can lead to cytosine demethylation by either further oxidation via Tet proteins to 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxycytosine (5caC) or deamination into 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) and then subsequent replacement by unmethylated cytosine by the base excision repair system. Methylation at the C5 position of cytosine bases is an epigenetic modification of the mammalian genome which plays an important role in transcriptional regulation. Tet1 preferentially binds to CpG-rich sequences at promoters of both transcriptionally active and polycomb-repressed genes. By controlling the levels of 5mC and 5hmC at gene promoters, it may regulate the gene expression silencing induced by cytosine methylation. May have a dual function by also repressing the expression of a subset of genes through recruitment of transcriptional repressors to promoters. Involved in the balance between pluripotency and lineage commitment of cells, it plays a role in embryonic stem cells maintenance and inner cell mass cell specification. Tet1 antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, ChIP-Seq, Immunohistochemistry and Western blot, it has been shown to react with Human and Mouse samples.
