Biliverdin - Wikipedia
Biliverdin (from the Latin for green bile) is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, and is a product of heme catabolism. [1][2] It is the pigment responsible for a greenish color sometimes seen in bruises. [2] Metabolism. Heme metabolism. Biliverdin results from the breakdown of the heme moiety of hemoglobin in erythrocytes.

2023年5月1日 · Biliverdin is a tetrapyrrolic, water-soluble compound formed by the breakdown of heme. [1] Heme is broken down into biliverdin and carbon monoxide and iron by heme oxidase. Biliverdin is then quickly broken down to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. [2]
What is Bilirubin and Biliverdin? - Meaning & Major Differences
2022年12月8日 · Bilirubin and biliverdin are two yellow pigments produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin is the main pigment in bile, while biliverdin is a green pigment that is converted to bilirubin. Bilirubin and biliverdin are both important for the excretion of waste products from the body. Table of Contents.
Biliverdin | C33H34N4O6 | CID 5280353 - PubChem
Biliverdin is a linear tetrapyrrole produced in the reticuloendothelial system by the first step of heme degradation, catalysed by heme oxygenase. It has a role as a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite.
Biliverdin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Biliverdin is a by-product of heme oxygenase and the substrate of biliverdin reductase. If the reductase is inhibited, biliverdin accumulates and green jaundice occurs. Biliverdin has shown in vitro beneficial roles in free radical-related diseases.
