Contributes to heme catabolism and metabolizes linear tetrapyrroles. Can also reduce the complexed Fe(3+) iron to Fe(2+) in the presence of FMN and NADPH. In the liver, converts biliverdin to bilirubin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517}. |Epimerase| |NmrA| |riboflavin reductase (NADPH) activity| |biliverdin reductase activity| |heme catabolic process| |tetrapyrrole catabolic process| |pigment catabolic process| |porphyrin-containing compound catabolic process| |heme metabolic process| |porphyrin-containing compound metabolic process| |terminal bouton| |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| |oxidation-reduction process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
