Methylated-DNA--Protein-Cysteine Methyltransferase
Definition 1
Methylated-DNA--protein-cysteine methyltransferase (207 aa, ~22 kDa) is encoded by the human MGMT gene. This protein is involved in both repair and dealkylation of DNA. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
enzyme that transfers methyl groups from O(6) methylguanine and other methylated moities of DNA, to a cysteine residue in itself, thus repairing alkylated DNA in a single step reaction (NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
