[Different faces of phenoloxidase in animals].
Phenoloxidases are oxidoreducting enzymes whose main function is the oxidation of phenols. The term phenoloxidase is often used interchangeably to describe three different enzymes: tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1), catechol oxidase, and laccase. Of these, only tyrosinase has two activities: (1) oxygenase activity to hydroxylate monophenols to ortho-diphenols ...
