MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase)
MGMT is a DNA repair enzyme that removes the damage temozolomide causes; when the gene is switched off by methylation the tumour cannot repair itself and the drug works better. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Loss of MGMT leaves O6-methylguanine unrepaired, which mispairs with thymine and triggers mismatch-repair-driven cell death; tumours that lose mismatch repair as well become hypermutated and resistant.
- Glioblastoma (promoter methylation in about 40 percent)
- Lower-grade gliomas
- Neuroendocrine tumours (low MGMT expression and alkylator response)
