Western blot - Anti-MGMT antibody [MT3.1] (AB39253)
Western blot : Anti-MGMT antibody [MT3.1] (ab39253) staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] (ab52866) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab39253 was shown to bind specifically to MGMT. A band was observed at 22 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MGMT knockout cell line ab286541. The band observed in the knockout lysate lane below 22 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of MGMT. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and MGMT knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed.First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MGMT antibody [MT3.1] (AB39253)
ab39253 staining MGMT in human stomach tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry. Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step was performed using 10mM citrate buffer pH6.0. Samples were then blocked with 5% serum for 1 hour at 23°C followed by incubation with the primary antibody, at a 1/100 dilution, for 1 hour at 23°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal was used as secondary antibody.

Biological function summary
MGMT prevents mutations by reversing alkylation damage playing a significant role in preserving DNA integrity. It acts independently and does not form part of any larger protein complexes. This enzyme-mediated repair is central to cellular defense against mutagenic threats such as alkylating agents. By curbing DNA damage MGMT can thwart the onset of harmful genetic mutations that might lead to issues like cancer development.
Pathways
MGMT is intimately involved in DNA damage response and repair pathways. Notably it interacts with base excision repair and direct reversal repair pathways. MGMT's function is distinct but complementary to the activities of other DNA repair proteins like XRCC1 and APE1 which are involved in the base excision repair pathway. The presence of MGMT bolsters cellular resilience by ensuring that DNA lesions caused by alkylating agents are addressed promptly and effectively.
