show Brenda entry

EC number

1.10.3.2

Accepted name

laccase

Reaction

4 benzenediol + O₂ = 4 benzosemiquinone + 2 H₂O

Other name(s)

urishiol oxidase, urushiol oxidase, p-diphenol oxidase

Systematic name

benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

80498-15-3

Comment

A group of multi-copper proteins of low specificity acting on both o- and p-quinols, and often acting also on aminophenols and phenylenediamine. The semiquinone may react further either enzymically or non-enzymically.
