Metabolic Functions of Biliverdin IXβ Reductase in Redox-Regulated Hematopoietic Cell Fate

Cytoprotective heme oxygenases derivatize heme to generate carbon monoxide, ferrous iron, and isomeric biliverdins, followed by rapid NAD(P)H-dependent biliverdin reduction to the antioxidant bilirubin. Recent studies have implicated biliverdin IXβ reductase (BLVRB) in a redox-regulated mechanism of...
