TET enzymes

TET enzymes are proteins that help regulate gene activity by editing DNA. They do this by transforming a chemical tag called methylcytosine into a different form, which can either turn a gene on or off. This process is crucial for normal development, brain function, and cell differentiation. TET enzymes play a key role in maintaining healthy gene patterns, and when they don't work properly, it can lead to diseases like cancer. Essentially, they act as molecular editors, fine-tuning our genetic instructions to keep cells functioning correctly.
