Metabolite Identification
Common NameMyo-inositol-6-phosphate
DescriptionMyo-inositol-6-phosphate is a carbohydrate metabolite classified as a phosphoinositide. Its chemical structure features a myo-inositol backbone with a phosphate group attached at the 6-position, contributing to its role in various biochemical pathways. Myo-inositol-6-phosphate is synthesized through the action of myo-inositol phosphate synthase (MIPS), which catalyzes the phosphorylation of myo-inositol, leading to the accumulation of this compound, particularly in seeds, where it serves as a major form of stored phosphorus (PMID:18603618 ). The synthesis of myo-inositol-6-phosphate has been further refined through asymmetric phosphorylation techniques, including the enantioselective synthesis using P(III) phosphoramidite transfer, which has been highlighted as a key step in streamlined synthetic pathways (PMID:20439750 ). This compound plays a significant role in cellular signaling and metabolism, influencing various biological processes, including energy metabolism and cell signaling pathways.
