A type 3 copper protein that catalyses exclusively the oxidation of catechol (i.e., o-diphenol) to the corresponding o-quinone. The enzyme also acts on a variety of substituted catechols.
It is different from tyrosinase, EC 1.14.18.1, which can catalyse both the monooxygenation of monophenols and the oxidation of catechols.

the enzyme needs to be inactivated in wine production from grape must, since it causes undesirable color and turbidity modifications, which can change the stability and organoleptic characteristics of grape juice and musts, overview
