Application
Biliverdin Reductase Ahuman has been used as a component of the incubation medium to evaluate theactivity of hemeoxygenase 1. It has also been used as a standard todetermine the age of the bleed from haemorrhagic lesion.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Biliverdin reductase catalyzes the transformation of the blue-green pigment biliverdin IX to the yellow-orange bile pigment bilirubin IX by converting a double-bond between the second and third pyrrole ring into a single-bond. This enzyme has two distinct cofactor-dependent pH optima. In the acidic range of pH 6.0-6.7, NADH is utilized, whereas in the alkaline range of pH 8.5-8.7, NADPH is utilized. Biliverdin reductase is considered a major physiologic cytoprotectant. Biliverdin reductase suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in rats. Depletion of biliverdin reductase leads to accumulation of cellular oxidants and augmented cell death.Biliverdin reductase (BVR)modulates the functions of insulin via the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)pathway. It shows dual specificity kinases where it phosphorylates tyrosineapart from serine and threonine. BVR acts as a biomarker in certain cancers.
General description
Research area: IMMUNO AND CKS. Biliverdinreductase A (BVRA) is an isozyme of the biliverdin reductase. It is a cellsurface membrane receptor. BVRA consists of two major regions, theregulatory/DNA interaction domain and catalytic domain.
Other Notes
1 unit of biliverdin reductase will transform 1 nanomole of biliverdin to bilirubin per minute in an NADPH dependent reaction at pH 8.5 using 100 mM K-phosphate buffer at 37 °C.
Physical form
Solution containing 20 mM potassium phosphate buffer, 10% glycerol, 0.2% Igepal CA630, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.1 mM DTT.

Three periplasmic nucleoside monophosphate-splitting phosphatases from Salmonella typhimurium, 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase, nonspecific acid phosphatase I, and nonspecific acid phosphatase II, were separated by column chromatography. They are characterized with respect to their substrate specificities, Km values, pH optima, molecular weights

Biliverdin reductase (BVR) is a multifunctional protein that is the primary source of the potent antioxidant, bilirubin. BVR regulates activities/functions in the insulin/IGF-1/IRK/PI3K/MAPK pathways. Activation of certain kinases in these pathways is/are hallmark(s) of cancerous cells. The protein is a
