In enzymology, a 7alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.159) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholanate + NAD+ 3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5beta-cholanate + NADH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholanate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5beta-cholanate, NADH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 7alpha-hydroxysteroid:NAD+ 7-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 7alpha-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase, and 7alpha-HSDH.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1AHH, 1AHI, and 1FMC.
