Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; inner cell mass cell differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within epigenetic programing of male pronucleus and positive regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island demethylation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; immune system; lower urogenital tract; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human TET1 (tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 1).
