| Cat.No.: | EKIT-0370 |
| Product Name: | TET Hydroxylase Activity Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) |
| Assay Type: | Enzyme activity |
| Description: | TET Hydroxylase Activity Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) is suitable for measuring the activity/inhibition of total 5mC hydroxylase TET enzyme using nuclear extracts or purified TET isoforms (TET 1-3) from a broad range of species such as mammalian, plant, fungal, and bacterial, in a variety of forms including, but not limited to cultured cells, fresh and frozen tissues. |
| Background: | Dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of the modified genomic base 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). Might initiate a process leading to cytosine demethylation through deamination into 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) and 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. 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. |
