Epigenetic Function of TET Family, 5-Methylcytosine, and 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Hematologic Malignancies
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation plays significant roles in a variety of biological and pathological processes including mammalian development, genomic imprinting, retrotransposon silencing, and X-chromosome inactivation. Recent discoveries indicated that ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of dioxygenases can convert 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). The TET family includes three members: TET1,...
