Der Kaninchen Monoklonal anti-MGMT Antikörper (Klon MGMT-8319R) (ABIN7881872) detektiert spezifisch MGMT in WB und IHC (p).
Dieser Antikörper reagiert spezifisch mit Proben aus Human.
Cancer chemotherapeutic alkylating agents (e.g. BCNU,) act by inducing formation of lethal cross-links at the O6- alkylguanine position in DNA. MGMT transfers alkyl adducts from the O6- position of guanine in DNA (prior to cross-link 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 DNA damage 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.
