Bilirubin is a yellow breakdown product of heme catabolism, formed when heme is cleaved by heme oxygenase.{28325} This reaction produces carbon monoxide and biliverdin, which is rapidly reduced to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Bilirubin has key roles as a free radical scavenger with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.{28325} Free and albumin-bound bilirubin can also scavenge nitric oxide (NO) and NO-related species. Unconjugated bilirubin is highly water-insoluble and must be conjugated with glucuronides to become water soluble and subsequently excreted by the liver and kidney.{28325}
