Antibody Potency: In mouse brain lysates, this antibody detects a ~36 kDa protein by Western blotting.
Antibody Species Reactivity: Human | Mouse | Rat
Antibody Positive Control: 2 µg/ml of SPC-213 was sufficient for detection of BVR in 20 µg of mixed human cell line lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-rabbit IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.
Antibody Specificity: High
Antibody Cross Reactivity: One very prominent 33 kDa cross-reactive protein in mouse brain lysates.

Scientific Background: Biliverdin Reductase (BVR) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin by converting a double bond between the second and third pyrrole ring into a single bond (1). It is ubiqutiously expressed in all tissues- it occurs in cells and brain regiuons that already display HO-1 and HO-2, but also in regions and cell types with potential to induce stress proteins. It is unique among all enzymes in having two pH optima, using a different cofactor at each pH range, NADH at pH7.0 and NADPH at pH8.7 (2). It is not inactivated by heat shock, and have shown to abate inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis (3).
