Recombinant Rat Biliverdin Reductase A

• Cat.No.: Blvra-595R
• Product Overview: Recombinant rat kidney biliverdin reductase expressed inE. coli.

Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: The phosphoprotein BVR (Biliverdin Reductase) is an oxireductase which catalyzes the reduction of the gamma-meso bridge of Biliverdin to Bilirubin. BVR is unique among all enzymes characterized to date because BVR has dual pH/dual cofactor requirements. The reductase is highly conserved in its primary structure and molecular properties and uses NADH in the acidic range (peak activity at pH~6.7), whereas NADPH is utilized in the basic range (peak activity at pH ~8.7).
• Purity Detail: Multi-step chromatography.
• Application: Western blot Control.
• Storage: -70°C.
• Pathways: Porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism
