Description

Biliverdin XIII Gamma is a specific, naturally occurring bile pigment and a key intermediate in the heme degradation pathway. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development due to its role as a precursor to bilirubin and its potential antioxidant and signaling properties. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, diagnostic manufacturers, and companies developing therapeutic agents related to liver function, jaundice, and oxidative stress.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in metabolic pathway studies, particularly for heme catabolism and bilirubin formation.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a critical raw material in the production of calibrators and controls for clinical assays measuring liver function and bile pigments.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of novel therapeutic compounds targeting antioxidant pathways.
• Cell Biology Studies: Employed in in vitro studies to investigate the cytoprotective effects and signaling mechanisms of bile pigments.
• Enzymology Substrates: Used as a substrate for enzymes like biliverdin reductase in kinetic and inhibition studies.
