TYR — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU08615 (TYR) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 1 encodes a tyrosinase, a copper-binding monooxygenase with a di-copper centre domain. This enzyme is directly annotated with tyrosinase activity, copper binding, and monooxygenase activity. The gene is associated with melanin anabolism, group I intron splicing, and RNA splicing. The encoded protein belongs to the tyrosinase/hemocyanin family and contains a tyrosinase C-terminal domain.
