Product Details anti-MGMT Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 1-100

Purpose: Recombinant MGMT (Marker of Suppressor of Mutation and Carcinogenesis) Antibody

Specificity: Cancer chemotherapeutic alkylating agents (e.g. BCNU,) act by inducing formation of lethal crossT 79oΩ 79oΩlinks at the O6T 79oΩ 79oΩ alkylguanine position in DNA. MGMT transfers alkyl adducts from the O6T 79oΩ 79oΩposition of guanine in DNA (prior to crossT 79oΩ 79oΩlink formation) to a cysteine residue in its own sequence, thereby restoring DNA to its intact state. This transfer inactivates the MGMT enzyme and is irreversible, hence the level of MGMT in a cell is directly proportional to the level of DNAT 79oΩ 79oΩdamage it can tolerate. In normal tissues, MGMT acts as a suppressor of mutation and carcinogenesis. Tumors with high levels of MGMT are likely to be drug resistant
