CAS 635-65-4: Bilirubin
Description:Bilirubin is a yellowish compound that is a product of the breakdown of heme, a component of hemoglobin found in red blood cells. It is primarily produced in the liver and is excreted in bile, playing a crucial role in the body's waste management system. Bilirubin exists in two main forms: unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin, which is lipid-soluble and not water-soluble, and conjugated (direct) bilirubin, which is water-soluble due to its conjugation with glucuronic acid. This transformation facilitates its excretion from the body. Elevated levels of bilirubin can lead to jaundice, a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, indicating potential liver dysfunction or hemolysis. Bilirubin's chemical structure includes a series of conjugated double bonds, contributing to its characteristic color. It also has antioxidant properties, which may play a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress. The CAS number 635-65-4 specifically identifies the unconjugated form of bilirubin, which is important in clinical diagnostics and understanding various health conditions.
