The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description
• Bilirubin is a degradation product of heme following the activity of heme oxidase. Bilirubin is produced in the reticuloendothelial system and conjugated in the liver. It appears as an orange-yellow pigment that is secreted in the bile
• High levels of unconjugated bilirubin can result in jaundice, a condition of the yellowing of skin and eyes. This can be toxic and may be a sign of severe liver disease
• Bilirubin has been seen to have functions including cell signaling, metabolism modulation, and immune regulation
• It has protective antioxidant activity at moderate levels
Application
• Bilirubin is widely used in studies of liver function and disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis
• As an antioxidant, bilirubin has been studied in protection against H2O2-mediated cell death
• It can be used as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or as an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase
