MP Biomedicals™ Bilirubin Oxidase, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Catalyzes the oxidation of bilirubin to biliverdin. Bilirubin Oxidase, MP Biomedicals is a multicopper oxidase enzyme that is used for diagnostic analysis of bilirubin in serum during medical examinations of the serum. Oxygen is the electron acceptor and

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
