NCIt related terms : TOCOQUINONE;
NCIt definition : An oxidized form of alpha-tocopherol with potent anticoagulant activity. Although
the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, dietary supplementation with
tocopherylquinone may lead to the inhibition of the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase
(gamma-glutamyl carboxylase). This prevents the carboxylation of glutamyl residues
in coagulation factor proteins and inhibits platelet aggregation and clotting.;
