Engineering tocopherol biosynthetic pathway in lettuce
Biologia Plantarum, 2011 In order to increase tocopherol content, genes encoding Arabidopsis homogentisate phytyltransferase (HPT) and γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) were constitutively over-expressed in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. logifolia), alone or in combination.

Gene-regulatory activity of alpha-tocopherol. [PDF]
, 2010 Vitamin E is an essential vitamin and a lipid soluble antioxidant, at least, under in vitro conditions. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E are exerted through its phenolic hydroxyl group, which donates hydrogen to peroxyl radicals, resulting in ...

The formation of homogentisate in the biosynthesis of tocopherol and plastoquinone in spinach chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1982 Homogentisate is the precursor in the biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 in chloroplasts. It is formed of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate of the shikimate pathway by the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase.

Absence of VLDL secretion does not affect α-tocopherol content in peripheral tissues
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 α-Tocopherol is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps to prevent oxidative damage to cellular lipids. α-Tocopherol is absorbed by the intestine and is taken up and retained by the liver; it is widely presumed that α-tocopherol is then delivered to ...
