General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information bilirubin is an important component of cellular defense mechanisms with cytoprotective features Homo sapiens
physiological function BVR is required for heme degradation. BVR plays a role in bile pigment metabolism, in cell protection, and in signal transduction, detailed overview. BVR reverses the inhibitory effect of biliverdin on PKC enzymes Homo sapiens
