5-Hydroxymethylcytosine  (Synonyms: 5hmC)

Cat. No.: HY-W018324 Purity: 98.14%
SDS COA Handling Instructions

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an oxidized forms of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in mammalian DNA. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is produced from 5mC in an enzymatic pathway involving three 5mC oxidases, Ten-eleven translocation (TET)1, TET2, and TET3. The conversion of 5mC into 5hmC can be the first step in a pathway leading towards DNA demethylation. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is associated with gene transcription and frequently used as a mark to investigate dynamic DNA methylation conversion during mammalian development.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
