Enables damaged DNA binding activity and transferase activity, transferring alkyl or aryl (other than methyl) groups. Involved in DNA dealkylation involved in DNA repair. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); endocrine gland cancer (multiple); and high grade glioma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human MGMT (O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
