Function
Laccase that catalyzes the oxidation of certain aromatic compounds, including L-dopa, to quinones, which then polymerize to melanin (By similarity). Able to oxidize a wide variety of aromatic diphenol and diamino groups in the ortho, meta, and para positions but not monophenolic groups such as in phenol, tyramine, or tyrosine (By similarity). Plays an important role in virulence (By similarity). Plays a role in dissemination to extrapulmonary sites but is not involved in pulmonary growth or in elicitation of cellular immune responses in the lung (By similarity).
