| Tissue Specificity | Liver. |
| Function | Reduces the gamma-methene bridge of the open tetrapyrrole, biliverdin IXalpha, to bilirubin with the concomitant oxidation of a NADH or NADPH cofactor. Does not reduce bilirubin IXbeta. Uses the reactants NADH or NADPH depending on the pH.NADH is used at the acidic pH range (6-6.9) and NADPH at the alkaline range (8.5-8.7). NADPH, however, is the probable reactant in biological systems. |
