Summary
Heme Degradation
is a
Biological Process
that breaks down heme, a
Component of hemoglobin
, into biliverdin,
Iron ions
, and
Carbon Monoxide
, ultimately leading to the
Production of bilirubin
which is excreted from the body. This process is crucial for
Recycling iron
and preventing the accumulation of
Toxic heme
, which can cause
Oxidative Stress
and
Damage to cells
.
