Biliverdin reductase A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BLVRA gene.[1][2]
Function
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.[1]
Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are associated with hyperbiliverdinemia.[1]
