Tet3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable DNA 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in epigenetic programing of male pronucleus; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island demethylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; female pronucleus; and male pronucleus. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human TET3 (tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 3). [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 rat Tet3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
