DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that is important for controlling gene expression. The protein encoded by this gene is a demethylase that belongs to the TET (ten-eleven translocation) family. Members of the TET protein family play a role in the DNA methylation process and gene activation.,TET1,CXXC6,LCX,bA119F7.1,MLL-TET1,TET1-MLL,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Chromatin Modifying Enzymes,DNA Demethylation,Transcription Factors,Cancer,TET1
