7beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+)

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

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⁺).
