Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Specifically binds 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)- containing DNA in stem cells, suggesting that it acts as a specific reader of 5hmC in stem cells (By similarity). May act as a peptidase; experimental evidences are however required to confirm this prediction (PubMed:23945014). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23945014}.
