Tet2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables DNA 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 hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; myeloid progenitor cell differentiation; and positive regulation of gene expression, epigenetic. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tet2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • ferrous iron binding
  • Oxygenase domain of the 2OGFeDO superfamily
  • zinc ion binding
  • catalytic domain
  • 2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
