Gene Information
human ... MGMT(4255)
General description
Methylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.63; UniProt P16455; also known as 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, GATase, MGMT, O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase) is encoded by the MGMT gene (Gene ID 4255) in human. MGMT is a DNA repair enzyme that removes alkyl groups from O6-guanine and plays a fundamental role in maintaining genomic integrity. MGMT converts the naturally occurring mutagenic DNA lesion O6-methylguanine back to guanine, thereby prevents mismatch and errors during DNA replication and transcription. MGMT expression level correlates with cellular resistance to alkylnitrosoureas, compounds that induce O6-alkylguanine lesions. MGMT transcription is negatively regulated via promoter methylation, MGMT promoter methylation level is reported to correclate with the survival rate of glioblastoma patients receiving treatment with alkylating agents.
21.65 kDa calculated. ~25 kDa reported (Brent, T.P., et al. (1990). Cancer Res. 50(1):58-61).
Application
