bilirubin transmembrane transporter activity

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0015127

Enables the transfer of bilirubin from one side of a membrane to the other. Bilirubin is a linear tetrapyrrole produced in the reticuloendothelial system from biliverdin and transported to the liver as a complex with serum albumin. In the liver, bilirubin is converted to bilirubin bisglucuronide, which is excreted in the bile. [ GOC:ai http://openisbn.com/search.php?q=0198547684&isbn=1/ ]
