REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.

Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

Supplementary information

The BVR protein known in full form as Biliverdin Reductase plays an essential mechanical role in the conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin. It exists as two main isoforms BVR-A and BVR-B with molecular masses approximately of 33 kDa. BVR is widely expressed in various tissues with higher levels found in liver kidney and spleen. As an enzyme its main function centers around the redox cycle between biliverdin and bilirubin providing an antioxidant defense mechanism.
Biological function summary

BVR influences cell signaling and growth processes acting as a multifunctional enzyme beyond its primary reductive activity. It participates in the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways acting both as a kinase and phosphatase which affects transcription factor regulation. BVR is also involved in heme metabolism working in conjunction with heme oxygenase to recycle heme a vital cellular molecule.

Pathways

BVR significantly contributes to the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory pathways. It operates within the heme catabolic pathway and the MAPK signaling cascade linking to proteins like heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the transcription factor Nrf2. These pathways support cell response to oxidative stress and regulate gene expression in response to environmental stressors.

BVR is associated with conditions such as jaundice and chronic inflammation-oriented diseases. Its interaction with proteins like heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) elevates its importance in managing oxidative stress-related disorders. Disruption in BVR function or expression can influence bilirubin metabolism potentially leading to hyperbilirubinemia and contributing to inflammatory disease development through altered cell signaling.
