Blvrb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable biliverdin reductase [NAD(P)+] activity; peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylase activity; and riboflavin reductase (NADPH) activity. Predicted to be involved in heme catabolic process; megakaryocyte differentiation; and negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in terminal bouton. Orthologous to human BLVRB (biliverdin reductase B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Blvrb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
