5alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydratase

Index 5alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydratase

In enzymology, a 5alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 5alpha-ergosta-7,22-diene-3beta,5-diol, and two products, ergosterol and H2O. [1]

Catalysis

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalysthttp://goldbook.iupac.org/C00876.html, which is not consumed in the catalyzed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly.

Ergosterol

Ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) is a sterol found in cell membranes of fungi and protozoa, serving many of the same functions that cholesterol serves in animal cells.

Lyase

In biochemistry, a lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking (an "elimination" reaction) of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis (a "substitution" reaction) and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure.
