Beschreibung

MGMT, known as O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, is a DNA repair enzyme that plays an important role in chemoresistance to alkylating agents. MGMT repairs the toxic DNA O6-Methylguanine lesion caused by Temozolomide (TMZ), an oral alkylating agent used for the treatment of glioblastoma. MGMT repairs damaged guanine nucleotides by transferring the methyl at O6 site of guanine to its cysteine residues, thus avoiding gene mutation, cell death and tumorigenesis. The expression of MGMT gene is mainly regulated by epigenetic modification. Loss of MGMT expression is due to methylation of the CpG island of MGMT promoter.
