EC 1.1.1.159

Accepted name: 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

Reaction: cholate + NAD+ = 3α,12α-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5β-cholanate + NADH + H+

Glossary: cholate = 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanate

Other name(s): 7α-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase; 7α-HSDH

Systematic name: 7α-hydroxysteroid:NAD+ 7-oxidoreductase

Comments: Catalyses the oxidation of the 7α-hydroxyl group of bile acids and alcohols both in their free and conjugated forms. The Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium enzymes can also utilize NADP+.
