7beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+)

In enzymology, a 7beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC number|1.1.1.201) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:a 7beta-hydroxysteroid + NADP⁺ $ightleftharpoons$ a 7-oxosteroid + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 7beta-hydroxysteroid and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are 7-oxosteroid, NADPH, 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 7beta-hydroxysteroid:NADP+ 7-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADP+-dependent 7beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 7beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+).
