'''Laccase''' (Lac) or '''multicopper oxidase''' is a multi-copper protein which uses molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism<ref>PMID:15036303</ref>. The multi-copper oxidases constitute a family of enzymes whose principal members are laccase (benzenediol oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2), ascorbate oxidase (L-ascorbate oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.3) and ceruloplasmin (Fe(II) oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.16.3.1). | '''Laccase''' (Lac) or '''multicopper oxidase''' is a multi-copper protein which uses molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism<ref>PMID:15036303</ref>.

* '''Laccase 2''' (Lac2) acts in lignin degradation and in detoxification of lignin products. Typically, laccases show a three cupredoxin-domain folding<ref>PMID:25586560</ref>. | * '''Laccase 2''' (Lac2) acts in lignin degradation and in detoxification of lignin products.
