General description
N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) is a mitochondrial DNA repair enzyme. It is expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm along with mitochondria.
Immunogen
DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-MPG antibody is suitable for Far-western blotting. Anti-MPG antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG) directly interacts with mitochondrial single-stranded binding protein (mtSSB) during mitochondrial DNA repair. The elevated expression has been reported in several tumor cells such as breast, lung, and colon cancers. Its N terminal domain interacts with the DNA binding site of the tumor suppressor gene p53 to represses its activity directly. By interacting with p53, it regulates the p53-mediated cell cycle arrest.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Only a minority of smokers develop lung cancer, possibly due to genetic predisposition, including DNA repair deficiencies. To examine whether inter-individual variations in DNA repair activity of N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG) are associated with lung cancer, we conducted a blinded

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity, and evidence suggest that inter-individual variation in DNA repair efficiency may contribute to disease risk. However, robust assays suitable for quantitative determination of DNA repair capacity in large cohort and

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is prevalent worldwide, and treatment often involves surgery and genotoxic chemotherapy. DNA repair mechanisms, such as base excision repair (BER) and mismatch repair (MMR), may not only influence tumour characteristics and prognosis but also dictate chemotherapy response.

Alkylating agents induce genome-wide base damage, which is repaired mainly by N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG). An elevated expression of MPG in certain types of tumor cells confers higher sensitivity to alkylation agents because MPG-induced apurinic/apyrimidic (AP) sites trigger more strand

Due to a harsh environment mitochondrial genomes accumulate high levels of DNA damage, in particular oxidation, hydrolytic deamination, and alkylation adducts. While repair of alkylated bases in nuclear DNA has been explored in detail, much less is known about the
