The two substrates of this enzyme are 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin and reduced ferredoxin. Its products are (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin and oxidized ferredoxin.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called PebB. This enzyme participates in porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism.
