Comments

Selected for resistance to: ChEBI; CHEBI:43996; Mitoguazone (Methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone); MGBG).
Transformant: ChEBI; CHEBI:23994; Ethyl methanesulfonate (Methylsulfonic acid ethyl ester; MSEE).
Caution: Four MGBG-resistant cell lines (Pro-3 MG(R) 1-23, Pro-3 MG(R) 2-2, Pro-3 MG(R) 3-1 and Pro-6 MG(R) 4-8) were created (PubMed=730773). As it is not clear which cell line has been distributed under the name CHO-MG, we have selected Pro-3 MG(R) 2-2 as it is used extensively in the original paper.
Derived from site: In situ; Ovary; UBERON=UBERON_0000992.
Cell type: Epithelial cell of ovary; CL=CL_2000064.
