General Information
Term catechol oxidase activity ID (Ontology) GO:0004097 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Catalysis of the reaction: 2 catechol + O2 = 2 1,2-benzoquinone + 2 H2O. This reaction catalyzes exclusively the oxidation of catechols (i.e., o-diphenols) to the corresponding o-quinones.[ EC:1 PubMed:22120533 ]
Also Known As "catecholase" ; "diphenol oxidase activity" ; "o-diphenol oxidoreductase" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
