5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an epigenetic modification that is generated by ten-eleven translocation (TET) protein-mediated oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). 5hmC is associated with transcription regulation and is decreased in many cancers including melanoma. Accumulating evidence has suggested that 5hmC is functionally distinct from 5mC. Ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 2 (UHRF2) is the first known specific 5hmC reader that has higher affinity to 5hmC than 5mC, suggestin ...[more]
