General annotation (Comments)

Function	This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the rate-limiting conversions of tyrosine to DOPA, DOPA to DOPA-quinone and possibly 5,6 dihydroxyindole to indole-5'6 quinone. Binds to the surface of hemocytes and is involved in hemocyte melanization. Ref.5
Catalytic activity	L-tyrosine + L-dopa + O2 = L-dopa + dopaquinone + H2O.
Cofactor	Binds 2 copper ions per subunit By similarity. Ref.3
Enzyme regulation	Activated by immulectin and lipopolysaccharide. Ref.4
Subunit structure	Heterodimer. Forms a complex with an interleukin 1-like protein as a consequence of a host defense response. Ref.2 Ref.3
Subcellular location	Secreted. Ref.3
Tissue specificity	Synthesized by oenocytoids, a type of hemocyte, and released into the hemolymph plasma. Ref.3
Post-translational modification	The N-terminus is blocked. Ref.3
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the tyrosinase family.
Mass spectrometry	Molecular mass is 79791 Da from positions 2 - 695. Determined by MALDI. Ref.3
