Description: Bilirubin (Principal bile pigment) is a principal pigment of bile and one of the major end products of hemoglobin decomposition. Target: Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: C(C1=C(CCC(O)=O)C(C)=C(/C=C\2/C(C=C)=C(C)C(=O)N2)N1)C3=C(CCC(O)=O)C(C)=C(/C=C\4/C(C)=C(C=C)C(=O)N4)N3. References: Wagner KH, et al....

Bilirubin is a yellow breakdown product of heme catabolism, formed when heme is cleaved by heme oxygenase. This reaction produces carbon monoxide and biliverdin, which is rapidly reduced to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Bilirubin has key roles as a free radical scavenger with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory...

A major component of hemoglobin decomposition and the principal pigment of bile, acts as an antioxidant and peroxyl radical scavenger, protecting membrane lipids from oxidation.
