Gene: TET1

Alternate names for this Gene: CXXC6|LCX|bA119F7.1

Gene Summary: DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that is important for controlling gene expression. The protein encoded by this gene is a demethylase that belongs to the TET (ten-eleven translocation) family. Members of the TET protein family play a role in the DNA methylation process and gene activation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q21.3

Description of this Gene: tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
