Biliverdin inhibits Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) expression through nitric oxide-dependent nuclear translocation of biliverdin reductase

, 2011
The cellular response to an inflammatory stressor requires a proinflammatory cellular activation followed by a controlled resolution of the response to restore homeostasis.

Biliverdin reductase B as a new target in breast cancer

Breast Cancer Research
Abstract Background Enhanced metabolic and mitochondrial activity inherent in actively proliferating cancer cells is associated with intracellular redox imbalance that impacts cellular viability. To restore redox homeostasis cancer cells evolve to activate redox protective mechanisms.

Biliverdin reductase A deficiency reveals sex- and brain region-specific vulnerability to high-fat diet feeding

Redox Biology
How the brain senses and responds to early metabolic stress, and why this process fails differently across sexes and regions, remains poorly understood.

Biliverdin reductase A is a major determinant of protective NRF2 signaling

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Biliverdin reductase A (BVRA), the terminal enzyme in heme catabolism, generates the neuroprotective and lipophilic antioxidant bilirubin. Here, we identify a nonenzymatic role for BVRA in redox regulation. Through phylogenetic, genetic, biochemical, and enzymatic assays, we found that BVRA exerts critical nonenzymatic antioxidant activity ...

Preparation of Bilirubin Through the Biotransformation of Biliverdin Using Whole Cells of Recombinant Yeast

Bilirubin is a key component in the preparation of two traditional Chinese medicines: Calculus bovis sativus and Calculus bovis artifactus. Currently, industrial-scale production of bilirubin is limited to extraction from pig bile in a very low yield and
