In enzymology, a cholest-5-ene-3β,7α-diol 3β-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.181) is an enzyme that catalyzes several chemical reactions of steroids.

The primary reaction is to convert 7α-hydroxycholesterol to 7α-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one:

 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
7α-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one
 

The two substrates are 7α-hydroxycholesterol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). The products are 7α-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one, reduced NADH, and a proton.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is cholest-5-ene-3β,7α-diol:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called 3β-hydroxy-Δ5-C27-steroid oxidoreductase. The human version of this enzyme is known as hydroxy-Δ-5-steroid dehydrogenase, 3 β- and steroid delta-isomerase 7 or HSD3B7 which is encoded by the HSD3B7 gene.
