Bile-acid 7alpha-dehydroxylase (EC 1.17.99.5, cholate 7alpha-dehydroxylase, 7alpha-dehydroxylase, bile acid 7-dehydroxylase) is an enzyme with systematic name deoxycholate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) deoxycholate + NAD+ + H2O ⇌ cholate + NADH + H+(2) lithocholate + NAD+ + H2O ⇌ chenodeoxycholate + NADH + H+

Bile-acid 7alpha-dehydroxylase is highly specific for bile acid substrates.
