Function
TYR1_HAHS4 Copper-containing oxidase that catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dopa and then to L-dopaquinone (PubMed:39382070). Can use various phenols such as p-coumaric acid, phenol, pyrocatechol, syringol or pyrogallol (PubMed:39382070). Accepts several of the constituents of lignin and potentially participates in lignin functionalization (PubMed:39382070).[1]
