In enzymology a 5alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.62) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction5alpha-ergosta-722-diene-3beta5-diol ergosterol + H2OHence this enzyme has one substrate 5alpha-ergosta-722-diene-3beta5-diol and two products ergosterol and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the hydro-lyases which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds.
