Inositol phosphate

Inositol phosphate
Inositol
Phosphate group

Inositol phosphates are a group of mono- to polyphosphorylated inositols. They play crucial roles in diverse cellular functions, such as cell growth, apoptosis, cell migration, endocytosis, and cell differentiation. The group comprises:

Functions

Inositol triphosphate

Main article: Inositol triphosphate

Inositol trisphosphates act on the inositol triphosphate receptor to release calcium into the cytoplasm. Further reading: Function of calcium in humans

Other

Inositol tetra-, penta-, and hexa-phosphates have been implicated in gene expression[1] and Steger[2] (both in Science Magazine).
