| UniProt functional annotation for P30043 | |||
| UniProt code: P30043. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=NADP(+) + reduced riboflavin = 2 H(+) + NADPH + riboflavin; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17607, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:57986, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.5.1.30; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18241201}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=bilirubin IXalpha + NAD(+) = biliverdin IXalpha + H(+) + NADH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15797, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57540, ChEBI:CHEBI:57945, ChEBI:CHEBI:57977, ChEBI:CHEBI:57991; EC=1.3.1.24; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18241201, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929092}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=bilirubin IXalpha + NADP(+) = biliverdin IXalpha + H(+) + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15793, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:57977, ChEBI:CHEBI:57991, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.3.1.24; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18241201, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7929092}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Mesobiliverdin acts as competitve inhibitor for flavin reduction, indicating that flavin and tetrapyrrole substrates compete for the same site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10620517}. | |
