======= BLVRA ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: BLVRA * **Official Name**: biliverdin reductase A * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=644|644]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P53004|P53004]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=BLVRA&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20BLVRA|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/109750|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: 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. Mutations in this gene are associated with hyperbiliverdinemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]. * **UniProt Summary**: Reduces the gamma-methene bridge of the open tetrapyrrole, biliverdin IX alpha, to bilirubin with the concomitant oxidation of a NADH or NADPH cofactor. |Biliv-reduc cat| |GFO IDH MocA| |biliverdin reductase activity| |tetrapyrrole catabolic process| |heme catabolic process| |pigment catabolic process| |porphyrin-containing compound catabolic process| |heme metabolic process| |porphyrin-containing compound metabolic process| |tetrapyrrole metabolic process| |cofactor catabolic process| |pigment metabolic process| |heterocycle catabolic process| |cellular nitrogen compound catabolic process| |cofactor metabolic process| |aromatic compound catabolic process| |organic cyclic compound catabolic process| |zinc ion binding| |oxidation-reduction process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp244|SB743921 0.001μM R05 exp244]]|1.99| |[[:results:exp24|Nocodazole 0.2μM R00 exp24]]|2.02| |[[:results:exp94|Nocodazole 0.1μM R03 exp94]]|2.14| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
