 TET203 are essential for proper development of the intestines. They are involved in the regulation of gene expression and the maintenance of healthy gut microbiomes. When these proteins are absent or reduced, the intestines become disrupted, leading to the formation of fewer paneth cells and more enteroendocrine cells. This causes a shift in the balance between the two types of cells, resulting in a dysfunctional intestine. Additionally, this imbalance leads to increased inflammation and decreased survival rates when exposed to stressors such as inflammatory stimuli.
