Gene Full Name :

Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase

Synonyms :

Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase; 2.1.1.63; 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase; MGMT; O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase; MGMT;

Protein Name :

Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase

Molecular Weight :

21646 MW

Protein Function :

Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in DNA. Repairs alkylated guanine in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated.

Subcellular Localization :

Nucleus.

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot, and HRP Conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (SV0002-1) for IHC(P) and ICC.

Background :

O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (also known as AGT, MGMT or AGAT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene. MGMT is mapped to 10q26.3. This gene is crucial for genome stability. It repairs the naturally occurring mutagenic DNA lesion O6-methylguanine back to guanine and prevents mismatch and errors during DNA replication and transcription. It has been found that methylation of the MGMT promoter in the tumor was associated with longer survival.
