Combined fluorometric analysis of biliverdin and bilirubin by the recombinant protein HUG
MethodsXBiliverdin is a secondary metabolite of heme catabolism. It is formed by the reaction catalyzed by heme oxygenase, which converts the heme group contained in proteins such as hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes, and catalase into biliverdin, iron (II) and

Direct antioxidant properties of bilirubin andbiliverdin. Is there a role for biliverdin reductase? [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and signaling events are involved in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction and represent a major contribution to vascular regulation. Molecular signaling is highly dependent on reactive oxygen species. But depending on

Proteomic analysis of Biliverdin protected cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury in rats
Scientific Reports, 2023 Biliverdin, a heme metabolite, has been previously reported to alleviate cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury (CIRI). However, the alterations of brain proteome profiles underlying this treatment remain elusive.

Examination of the ligand-binding and enzymatic properties of a bilin-binding protein from the poisonous caterpillar Lonomia obliqua. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The bilin-binding proteins (BBP) from lepidopteran insects are members of the lipocalin family of proteins and play a special role in pigmentation through the binding of biliverdin IXγ.

Effects of biliverdin administration on acute lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation induces pulmonary inflammation that leads to acute lung injury. Biliverdin, a metabolite of heme catabolism, has been shown to have potent cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects.
