Description
Bilirubin oxidase is a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 60 kDa and high reactivity at neutral pH. BOD participates in porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. It is used to degrade bilirubin and for numerous laboratory applications.
- Bilirubin oxidase, from Myrothecium verrucaria, may be used to determine free hemoglobin in icteric specimens
- It has potential application in dye effluent decolorization
- It is a potential treatment for neonatal jaundice
- It is used diagnostically to determine two types of bilirubin, glucuronide-conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin separately
- In various enzymatic assay using oxidase-peroxidase (such as Glucose oxidase system, Cholesterol oxidase system, Acyl coenzyme A oxidase system, and Glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase system), accuracy can be increased as the interference of bilirubin is removed by oxidation
- It has also been used as an enzymatic catalyst for the cathode of biofuel cells that work under neutral conditions
