Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** MGMT is a DNA repair enzyme that belongs to the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase family. It is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from O6-methylguanine to its own cysteine residue, thereby repairing DNA damage caused by alkylating agents. MGMT is a member of the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) dependent methyltransferase family and exhibits a high degree of specificity for O6-methylguanine. The enzyme's activity is tightly regulated by various cellular mechanisms, including feedback inhibition and interaction with other DNA repair proteins. **Pathways and Functions:** MGMT plays a critical role in the repair of DNA damage caused by alkylating agents, which are commonly used in cancer chemotherapy. Alkylating agents, such as cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil, induce DNA damage by adding alkyl groups to DNA, leading to mutations and cell death. MGMT helps to repair this damage by transferring a methyl group from O6-methylguanine to its own cysteine residue, thereby restoring the original DNA sequence. In addition to its role in DNA repair, MGMT has been implicated in the regulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death) and the maintenance of genomic stability. **Clinical Significance:** MGMT's role in DNA repair and cancer progression has significant clinical implications. The expression of MGMT is often used as a biomarker to predict the efficacy of alkylating agents in cancer treatment. Patients with high levels of MGMT expression tend to have a poorer response to chemotherapy, while those with low levels of MGMT expression tend to have a better response. This highlights the importance of MGMT in the development of cancer and the need for personalized treatment approaches. Furthermore, MGMT's role in DNA repair and cell survival has implications for the development of novel cancer therapies, including the use of epigenetic modulators to enhance the effectiveness of existing treatments. In conclusion, MGMT is a complex enzyme that plays a critical role in DNA repair and cancer progression. Its expression and activity are tightly regulated by various cellular mechanisms, and its role in DNA repair and cell survival has significant clinical implications. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of MGMT and its role in cancer development and treatment. **References:** 1. Mossman, B. T., & Lutz, W. K. (2002).

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
