About BLVRB

Enables biliverdin reductase [NAD(P)+] activity; peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylase activity; and riboflavin reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in heme catabolic process; megakaryocyte differentiation; and negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Is active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
