Function | Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) and O4-methylthymine (O4-MeT) in DNA. Repairs the methylated nucleobase in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |

Background
MGMT (O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) is a DNA repair protein that response to DNA damage by removing methly or alkyl groups from the O6 position of guanine. MGMT protects normal cells from cytotoxic effects and is important in dr µg resistance to alkylating agents.
