Clearance of heme in mammals is a two step process starting with conversion of heme to biliverdin by heme oxygenase, followed by reduction of biliverdin to bilirubin by bilivredin reductase. Biliverdin IX b reductase (BLVRB) converts the B isomer of biliverdin IX to bilirubin IX b, which constitutes 87% of total bilirubin in fetal bile. Therefore BLVRB is especially important for fetal heme metabolism and clearance. BLVRB is a cytoplasmic enzyme expressed at high levels in erythrocytes and liver, but is present in other tissues. The enzyme is identical to flavin reductase, which is an oxidoreductase...
