16-hydroxysteroid epimerase
- 16-hydroxysteroid epimerase
In enzymology, a 16-hydroxysteroid epimerase (EC number|5.1.99.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:16alpha-hydroxysteroid 16beta-hydroxysteroid
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 16alpha-hydroxysteroid, and one product, 16beta-hydroxysteroid.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on other compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 16-hydroxysteroid 16-epimerase.
