D-myo-Inositol, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Plays an important role as a structural element for secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. D-myo-Inositol, MP Biomedicals is a growth factor for animals and microorganisms. It serves as an important component of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and the phosph

Myo-Inositol is the most abundant form of polyols that serves as a structural element of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells.

• It is a component of membrane phospholipids, glycosyl­phosphatidyl­inositol anchors that bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers
• Inositol or cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol is a chemical compound, a sixfold alcohol (polyol) of cyclohexane
• It exists in nine possible stereoisomers, of which the most prominent form, widely occurring in nature, is cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol, or myo-inositol (former name meso-inositol)
• Inositol is a carbohydrate, though not a classical sugar. It has a taste which has been assayed at half the sweetness of table sugar (sucrose)
