Biology Open, 2021 Myo-inositol is a precursor of the membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol (PI). It is involved in many essential cellular processes including signal transduction, energy metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and osmoregulation.

Degradation of phytate by the 6-phytase from Hafnia alvei: a combined structural and solution study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Phytases hydrolyse phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), the principal form of phosphate stored in plant seeds to produce phosphate and lower phosphorylated myo-inositols.

Inositol phosphates in the environment [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 The inositol phosphates are a group of organic phosphorus compounds found widely in the natural environment, but that represent the greatest gap in our understanding of the global phosphorus cycle. They exist as inositols in various states of phosphorylation (bound to between one and six phosphate groups) and isomeric forms (e.g.

Inositols in Insulin Signaling and Glucose Metabolism
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2018 In the past decades, both the importance of inositol for human health and the complex interaction between glucose and inositol have been the subject of increasing consideration. Glucose has been shown to interfere with cellular transmembrane transport of

Bio-Protocol, 2015 This method describes an in vitro assay for measuring INO1 enzyme activity (the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to myo-inositol 3-phosphate) in cell-free extracts. The method was first described for Plasmodium falciparum cells in MacRae et al.

Countercurrent distribution of inositol lipids of plant seeds
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 The inositol lipids of plant seeds consist of phosphatidyl inositol, the phytoglycolipids, and a previously uncharacterized ceramide-phosphate-polysaccharide. These three species have been separated from each other and from the common glycerophosphatides

A Role for Inositol Pyrophosphates in the Metabolic Adaptations to Low Phosphate in Arabidopsis
Metabolites, 2021 Phosphate is a major plant macronutrient and low phosphate availability severely limits global crop productivity. In Arabidopsis, a key regulator of the transcriptional response to low phosphate, phosphate starvation response 1 (PHR1), is modulated by a ...

The Role of Inositol in Thyroid Physiology and in Subclinical Hypothyroidism Management
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Myo-Inositol (MYO) is the most abundant stereoisomer of inositols’ family, cyclic polyols with 6 hydroxyl groups. Myo-Inositol has a relevant role in thyroid function and autoimmune diseases, as a precursor of phosphoinositides that takes part in the ...

Inositol monophosphate phosphatase genes of
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Mycobacteria use inositol in phosphatidylinositol, for anchoring lipoarabinomannan (LAM), lipomannan (LM) and phosphatidylinosotol mannosides (PIMs) in the cell envelope, and for the production of mycothiol, which maintains the redox balance ...
