The TET2 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is designed to measure TET2 activity for screening and profiling applications. TET2 belongs to the Ten Eleven Translocation (TET) family proteins that catalyze 5-methylcytosine oxidation and generate 5-methylcytosine derivatives, including 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. TET2 is one of the most frequently mutated genes in myeloid malignancies.

The key to the TET2 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit is a highly specific antibody that recognizes hydroxymethylated substrate. With this kit, only three simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for detection of TET2 activity. First, TET2 enzyme is incubated with the methylated substrate for two hours. Then the primary antibody is added. Next, the plate is treated with an HRP-labeled secondary antibody. Finally, the HRP substrate is added to produce chemiluminescence that can be measured using a chemiluminescence reader.
