Accession:GO:0004503 term browser browse the term
Definition:Catalysis of the reaction: L-tyrosine + O2 = L-DOPAquinone + H2O. This reaction can use both monophenols (such as tyrosine) and catechols (o-diphenols) as substrates.
Comment:In mammals, L-DOPA can act as a cofactor for the catalyzed reaction; therefore in some resources L-DOPA is shown on both sides of the reaction. GO:0004503 describes the monooxygenation of the monophenol, L-tyrosine. For oxidation of diphenols (including L-DOPA and dopamine), consider instead the term 'catechol oxidase activity ; GO:0004097' and its children.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: L-tyrosine monooxygenase activity;   monophenol monooxygenase activity;   monophenol oxygenase
 broad_synonym: phenol oxidase activity;   phenolase activity;   pyrocatechol oxidase
 related_synonym: N-acetyl-6-hydroxytryptophan oxidase activity;   catecholase;   chlorogenic acid oxidase activity;   chlorogenic oxidase activity;   cresolase activity;   dopa oxidase;   monophenol monooxidase activity;   monophenol oxidase activity;   monophenolase activity;   o-diphenol oxidase activity;   o-diphenol oxidoreductase;   o-diphenol:O2 oxidoreductase activity;   prophenol oxidase activity;   prophenoloxidase activity;   tyrosine-dopa oxidase activity
