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. Then the iron and globin split off‚ and bilirubin is formed by the reduction of biliverdin. In contrast to iron and globin‚ which can be metabolically reused‚ bilirubin is an end product and toxic product that should be efficiently eliminated from the body. As the bilirubin formed is
