HUMAN O6-ALKYLGUANINE-DNA ALKYLTRANSFERASEHUMAN O6-ALKYLGUANINE-DNA ALKYLTRANSFERASE
Structural highlights
FunctionMGMT_HUMAN Involved in the cellular defense against the biological effects of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in DNA. Repairs alkylated guanine in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. This is a suicide reaction: the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
