Template:PBB Ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) is a member of the TET family of enzymes that in humans is encoded by the TET1 gene.[1][2]

TET1 catalyzes the conversion of the modified DNA base 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC).[3] TET1 produces 5-hmC by oxidation of 5-mC in an iron and alpha-ketoglutarate dependent manner.[4] The conversion of 5-mC to 5-hmC has been proposed as the initial step of active DNA demethylation in mammals.[4] Additionally, downgrading TET1 has decreased levels of 5-formylcytosine (5-fC)  and 5-carboxylcytosine (5-caC) in both cell cultures and mice. [5]

TET1 appears to facilitate nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells to iPS cells.[6] [7]

Colon tumors have significantly reduced levels of TET1 compared to the healthy colon cells and normal epithelial colon cells with downgraded TET1 levels have greater levels of proliferation. Additionally, increasing TET1 expression levels in colon cancer cells decreased cell proliferation in both cell cultures and mice through demethylation of promoters of the WNT signaling pathway. [8] Breast and liver tumors have also shown significantly reduced TET1 levels compared to healthy cells. [9]
