BLVRA Antibody

1. Genetic polymorphisms of the UGT1A1 promoter, specifically the T-3279G phenobarbital-responsive enhancer module and (TA)7 dinucleotide repeat, as well as the intron and coding region variants of the OATP2, HMOX1, and BLVRA genes, were significantly higher among the cases than the controls. PMID: 27943244
2. BLVRA mRNA levels in the liver as well as in peripheral blood leukocytes are significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma patients most likely as a feedback mechanism to control increased oxidative stress associated with HCC progression. PMID: 27740521
3. Data suggest that isoenzymes BVRA and BVRB play different roles in energy metabolism and in pathogenesis of abdominal obesity and hypertriglyceridemia. [REVIEW] PMID: 25726384

5. Activation of human biliverdin-IXalpha reductase by urea: generation of kinetically distinct forms during the unfolding pathway. PMID: 24060811
6. These findings suggest that hBVR significantly contributes to the modulation of hypoxia-induced chemoresistance of glioblastoma cells by adjusting their cellular redox status. PMID: 24113378
7. Increased biliverdin reductase expression is associated with multidrug resistance in leukemia. PMID: 24222129
8. Our results suggest that patients with chronic HCV infection significantly upregulate BLVRA expression in PBL. PMID: 23536765
9. The current study reports increased levels of both HO-1 and BVR-A in plasma from probable Alzheimer disease patients, as a result of the increased oxidative environment. PMID: 22776971
10. rs699512 (Thr3Ala), the only common non-synonymous SNP within BLVRA, reduced the risk of essential hypertension in Kazaks. PMID: 21721974
11. A significant increase of nitrated BVRA was demonstrated only in Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment hippocampi PMID: 21483094
12. A homozygous BLVRA inactivating mutation is associated with the appearance of green jaundice accompanying cholestasis episodes. PMID: 21278388
13. data support the notion that BLVRA contributes significantly to modulation of the aging process by adjusting the cellular oxidative status. PMID: 21099244
14. An up-regulation of the biliverdin reductase-A protein levels was found in the hippocampus of the subjects with Alzheimer disease and arguably its earliest form, mild cognitive impairment. PMID: 21241799
15. hBVR was detected in the nucleus at 1, 2, and 4 h after hypoxia (1% O(2)), at which times its kinase and reductase activities were increased. PMID: 20410444
16. These observations support direct and indirect antioxidant properties of BVR and bilirubin and an important role for BVR and bilirubin in HO-1 conferred protection of endothelial cells. PMID: 20430037
17. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax in smokers is associated with lung macrophage oxidative stress. The response to this condition involves HIF-1alpha-mediated induction of HO-1, BVR and H-ferritin. PMID: 20526373
18. hBVR is a regulator of the TNF-alpha-GPBP-collagen type IV signaling cascade PMID: 20177069
19. Bilirubin, acting as a cytoprotective antioxidant, is itself oxidized to biliverdin and then recycled by biliverdin reductase back to bilirubin. This redox cycle may constitute the principal physiologic function of bilirubin. PMID: 12456881
20. Biliverdin reductase is a novel regulator for induction of activating transcription factor-2 and heme oxygenase-1 PMID: 14988408
21. BVR advances the role of HO-1 in cytoprotection and affords cytoprotection independent of heme degradation PMID: 15741166
22. hBVR activation of PKC betaII underscores its potential function in propagation of signals relayed through PKCs PMID: 17227757
23. Results describe the activation of biliverdin-IXalpha reductase by inorganic phosphate and related anions. PMID: 17402939
24. These findings, together with observations that si-hBVR blocked activation of ERK and Elk1 by IGF1 and prevented formation of ternary complex between MEK/ERK/hBVR, define the critical role of hBVR in ERK signaling and nuclear functions of the kinase. PMID: 18463290
25. Case Report: A novel mutation in the biliverdin reductase-A gene combined with liver cirrhosis results in hyperbiliverdinaemia (green jaundice). PMID: 19580635
26. Limited role for the bilirubin-biliverdin redox amplification cycle in the cellular antioxidant protection by biliverdin reductase. PMID: 19690164
