Western blot analysis of extracts from Jurkat (lane 2(20μg), Hela (lane 3(20μg) and HEK293(lane 4(20μg) using MGMT (HY-P80224) Rabbit mAb. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (1/1000) and Loading control antibody (Beta Actin, HY-P80438, 1/10000) was used in 5% non-fat milk in TBST at 4°C overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse/Rabbit IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (1/10000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Background

Function
MGMT encodes O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, also called AGT, a DNA repair protein that removes alkyl groups from O6-alkylguanine adducts[1]. Mechanistically, MGMT repairs cytotoxic O6-methylguanine and O6-chloroethylguanine lesions induced by methylating or chloroethylating agents, thereby limiting DNA damage signaling and alkylating-drug cytotoxicity[2][3]. In glioma, MGMT promoter methylation silences MGMT expression and predicts clinical response to alkylating agents, including temozolomide[4][5]. Compared with separate isoform targets, the retrieved literature describes MGMT/AGT as the same repair protein, so isoform-specific claims require additional evidence[1]. For experimental applications, O6-benzylguanine and O6- (4-bromothenyl) guanine have been used to inactivate MGMT, but normal-tissue MGMT inhibition can increase alkylating-drug toxicity[6].
