Monophenol Monooxygenase MeSH Descriptor Data 2025
An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the reaction between L-tyrosine, L-dopa, and oxygen to yield L-dopa, dopaquinone, and water. It is a copper protein that acts also on catechols, catalyzing some of the same reactions as CATECHOL OXIDASE. EC 1.14.18.1.
92; was TYROSINASE 1977-91 (see under DIPHENOL OXIDASES 1977-90); TYROSINASE was see DIPHENOL OXIDASES 1975-76, see under DIPHENOL OXIDASES 1968-74 & see TYROSINE DECARBOXYLASE 1963-67; DOPA OXIDASE was heading 1991, was see under DIPHENOL OXIDASES 1968-72 & 1975-90, was see under TYROSINE DECARBOXYLASE 1963-67
Online Note
use MONOPHENOL MONOOXYGENASE to search TYROSINASE 1977-91, use CATECHOL OXIDASE 1968-76 & use TYROSINE DECARBOXYLASE 1966-67; use CATECHOL OXIDASE to search DOPA OXIDASE 1968-75 (as Prov 1973-74), use TYROSINE DECARBOXYLASE 1963-67
