Biliverdin reductase A

Biliverdin reductase A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BLVRA gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the biliverdin reductase family, members of which catalyze the conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin in the presence of NADPH or NADH.

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene are associated with hyperbiliverdinemia.
