Bilirubin is a breakdown end product of heme containing proteins. About 80% of bilirubin is formed from the degradation of erythrocyte hemoglobin after 120 days of erythrocyte life in the blood. The remaining 20% of daily-produced bilirubin is formed from erythrocyte precursors in bone marrow and other heme proteins: myoglobin‚ cytochromes‚ and catalase. Hemoglobin degradation begins with opening of the heme porphyrin ring‚ forming the biliverdin – iron – globin compound known as verdoglobin.
