Testing Data
(Recombinant TET2 (1129-2002) activity assay 500 nM of 30 bp dsDNA oligos (sequence: 5’-CAGTAACTGTGGTC/5mC/GGTAACTGACTTGCA-3’) were incubated with different concentrations of TET2 (1129-2002) protein in a 20 ?l reaction system containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.9, 50 ?M Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, 100 ?M ascorbate, 100 ?M alpha-ketoglutarate, 100 ?M ATP, 1 mM TCEP at room temperature for 2 hours. 20 ?l reaction product was concentrated to 50 ul, then 1 ?l product was spotted onto positively charged nylon membrane. 5hmC antibody was used to detect the generation of products.)
Background: TET (Ten Eleven Translocation) family proteins are cytosine oxygenases that catalyze the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). 5hmC can be further oxidized into 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) by TET proteins. Methylation at the C5 position of cytosine is an epigenetic modification of the mammalian genome that plays an important role in transcriptional regulation. TET proteins are responsible for initiating the enzymatic deamination process leading to cytosine demethylation. TET2 plays an important role in normal myelopoiesis. Somatic loss-of-function mutations in TET2 gene frequently occur in patients with myeloid malignancies. TET2 loss increased hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and myeloid transformation. TET2 promotes histone O-GlcNAcylation during gene transcription in embryonic stem cells. In addition, TET2 can be recruited to chromatin by CXXC domain protein IDAX. IDAX downregulates TET2 protein by activating caspase pathway.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a methylcytosine dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. The encoded protein is involved in myelopoiesis, and defects in this gene have been associated with several myeloproliferative disorders. Two variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Product Notes
The TET2 (Catalog #AAA388136) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Baculovirus and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TET2, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
