Biliverdin

Overview

Biliverdin, a tetrapyrrolic pigment, is a product of heme catabolism. 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. Biliverdin can mediate the protective effects of HO-1 in many disease models including IRI and organ transplantation. Biliverdin exhibits anti-mutagenic, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunosuppressant properties.
