Form
Liquid or Lyophilized powder
Note: We will preferentially ship the format that we have in stock, however, if you have any special requirement for the format, please remark your requirement when placing the order, we will prepare according to your demand.
Buffer
If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol.
Note: If you have any special requirement for the glycerol content, please remark when you place the order.
If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Storage Condition
Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Lead Time
Delivery time may differ from different purchasing way or location, please kindly consult your local distributors for specific delivery time.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.

Target Background

Function
Reduces the gamma-methene bridge of the open tetrapyrrole, biliverdin IX alpha, to bilirubin with the concomitant oxidation of a NADH or NADPH cofactor.
Gene References into Functions
  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
  4. Interactions of HO-2 with CPR and BVR, were evaluated. PMID: 25196843
  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

  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
