technical field
[0001] The invention relates to hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, in particular to a novel 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene S1-a-2. Background technique
[0002] The asymmetric reduction of carbonyl groups has always been one of the hotspots in chemical reaction research. Although the current chemical methods have achieved certain results, they often have disadvantages such as limited types and numbers of catalysts, low stereoselectivity, expensive auxiliary reagents, and difficult recovery. The enzymatic reaction not only has high efficiency, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity but also high stereoselectivity. The enzymatic reaction mediated by hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, HSDH) has relatively strict stereoselectivity and "not" strict substrate specificity. For example, as early as the early 1980s, scientists have begun to use 7α-, 7β-HSDH produced by microorganisms to combine epimerization with chenodeoxycholic acid (Chenodeo...
