21-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+)

Enzyme From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, 21-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.151) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(5β)-pregnan-21-al
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are (5β)-pregnan-21-ol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are (5β)-pregnan-21-al, reduced NADPH, and a proton.[1][2]

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 21-hydroxysteroid:NADP+ 21-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 21-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase, 21-hydroxy steroid (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), dehydrogenase, 21-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, phosphate), NADP+-21-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 21-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (NADP+).
