Catabolism of heme Hemoglobin Heme Heme Biliverdin by “ Heme oxygenase ” Biliverdin Bilirubin by “ Biliverdin reductase ” Bilirubin Bilirubin diglucuronide by “ Bilirubin glucuronyltransferase ” Bilirubin diglucuronide Urobilinogen by “ Microbial enzymes ” Urobilinogen Urobilin (To urine) Urobilinogen Stercobilin (To feces)
BLOOD CELLS Hemoglobin H e m e INTESTINE AND KIDNEY Urobilinogen Urobilin Excreted in Urine Stercobilin Excreted in Feces Biliverdin Bilirubin LIVER Bilirubin diglucuronide Bilirubin
Catabolism of heme Bilirubin is a bile pigment, and is the excretory end product of heme degradation.
