Uniprot ID | Q923D2 | ||
Protein Name | Flavin reductase (NADPH) | ||
Gene Name | Blvrb | ||
Species | Mus musculus (Mouse) |
Signal peptide(a) | N | Secretome P(b) | 0.84 |
Function | Broad specificity oxidoreductase that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of flavins, such as riboflavin, FAD or FMN, biliverdins, methemoglobin and PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone). 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. . | ||
