The DNA-repair protein O 6 -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (alkyltransferase; MGMT) is a major determinant of resistance of cells to various alkylating cytostatic drugs. Its expression in tissues is highly variable, indicating complex regulatory mechanisms involved. Transfection-mediated expres
The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is involved in the cellular defense against alkylating agents. Genetic alterations in the MGMT gene may impair the protein's ability to remove alkyl groups from the O6-position of guanine, thereby raising the mutation rate and incr
