QuickView for BLVRA (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- BLVRA
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- biliverdin reductase A
- Synonyms:
- BLVR, BVR, BVRA, biliverdin reductase A, BVR A, biliverdin-IX alpha-reductase, testis tissue sperm-binding protein Li 61n
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 7: 43764797-43813466
- Description:
-
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. Mutations in this gene are associated with hyperbiliverdinemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
