EC 1.17.1.6 Details
EC number
1.17.1.6
Accepted name
bile-acid 7α-dehydroxylase
Reaction
(1) deoxycholate + NAD+ + H2O = cholate + NADH + H+;;(2) lithocholate + NAD+ + H2O = chenodeoxycholate + NADH + H+
Other name(s)
cholate 7α-dehydroxylase, 7α-dehydroxylase, bile acid 7-dehydroxylase
Systematic name
deoxycholate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comment
This enzyme is highly specific for bile-acid substrates and requires a free C-24 carboxy group and an unhindered 7α-hydroxy group on the B-ring of the steroid nucleus for activity. May be regulated by the ratio of NAD+ to NADH [2].
