Pterobilin also called biliverdin IXγ in the Fischer nomenclature,
Synthetic pathways
Pterobilin is a
δ-aminolevulinic acid, then coproporphyrinogen III, to protoporphyrin IX and finally into pterobilin.[5][6]
Pterobilin can be
phototransformed into phorcabilin and sarpedobilin in vitro.[5] Pterobilin can also be thermally rearranged in vitro into phorcabilin.[5][7]
Biochemical roles
Pterobilin in P. brassicaewing scales where pterobilin accumulates differ morphologically in a way that would facilitate photoreception.[5]
