Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.2.0)
Enables 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase activity. Involved in myeloid cell differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA demethylation; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and myeloid progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; extraembryonic component; immune system; lower urogenital tract; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); lung non-small cell carcinoma; and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human TET2 (tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2).
