Descriptor Spanish: Lacasa
Descriptor lacasa
Scope note: Oxidorreductasa que contiene cobre y cataliza la oxidación de 4-bencenodiol para formar 4-benzosemiquinona. También es activa frente a diversos O-quinoles y P-quinoles. Se encuentra principalmente en HONGOS y participa en la degradación de la LIGNINA, la biosíntesis de pigmentos y la destoxificación de productos derivados de la lignina.
