Biliverdin (from the Latin for green bile) is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, and is a product of heme catabolism. It is the pigment responsible for...

Biliverdin reductase (BVR) is an enzyme (EC 1.3.1.24) found in all tissues under normal conditions, but especially in reticulo-macrophages of the liver...

American robin, an abundant songbird of North America. The egg pigment is biliverdin, a product of the breakdown of heme. The first recorded use of robin egg...

Biliverdin reductase B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BLVRB gene. The BLVRB gene was localized to chromosome 19, the specific region being...

digested ferritin and lysosomes. The breakdown of heme gives rise to biliverdin and iron. The body then traps the released iron and stores it as hemosiderin...

Biliverdin reductase A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BLVRA gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the biliverdin reductase...

Macrophages break down senescent erythrocytes and break the heme down into biliverdin, which rapidly reduces to free bilirubin. Bilirubin binds tightly to plasma...
