AffiAB® Anti-Tet1 Antibody

TET1 (tet oncogene 1) , also known as LCX or CXXC6, is a 2, 136 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and contains one CXXC-type zinc finger. Expressed in adult ovary, thymus and skeletal muscle and also present in fetal lung, heart and brain, TET1 is thought to play a role in the development of fetal organs and may also be involvement in the pathoegenesis and metastasis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . The gene encoding TET1 maps to human chromosome 10, which houses over 1, 200 genes and comprises nearly 4.5% of the human genome. Defects in some of the genes that map to chromosome 10 are associated with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Usher syndrome, nonsyndromatic deafness, Wolman’s syndrome, Cowden syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and porphyria.
