K05369 pebA; 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Catalyses the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IXalpha at the C15 methine bridge. It has been proposed that this enzyme and EC 1.3.7.3, phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, function as a dual enzyme complex in the conversion of biliverdin IXalpha into phycoerythrobilin.
