The next step is the reduction of biliverdin to a yellow color tetrapyrol pigment called bilirubin by cytosolic enzyme biliverdin reductase.
12.
The biliverdin is reduced to bilirubin, which is released into the plasma and recirculated to the liver bound to albumin.
13.
"' Biliverdin "'is a green tetrapyrrolic bile pigment, and is a product of heme catabolism.
14.
In the garfish ( " Belone belone " ) and related species, the bones are bright green because of biliverdin.
15.
Biliverdin also is replenished in the cycle with its formation from heme units through heme oxygenase ( HO ) localized from the endoplasmic reticulum.
16.
It has been suggested that accumulation of biliverdin might deter harmful infection by Plasmodium malaria parasites, though no statistically significant correlation has been established.
17.
The first oxidation reaction is catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme heme oxygenase and results in biliverdin ( green color pigment ), iron and carbon monoxide.
18.
There are a range of pigments known to colour eggs, these include biliverdin in blue eggs and complex porphyrin polymers in brown and black speckled eggs.
19.
It converts biliverdin to bilirubin ( a strong antioxidant ), which is then converted back into biliverdin through the actions of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ).
