Description

The inositol phosphates are a family of mono- to poly-phosphorylated compounds that act as messengers, regulating cellular functions including cell cycling, apoptosis, differentiation, and motility.1,2 D-myo-Inositol-2,4-diphosphate is an intermediate compound, produced by the dephosphorylation of either inositol-2,3,4-triphosphate or inositol-2,4,5-triphosphate. The diphosphate can be further metabolized to produce inositol-2-monophosphate. The biological roles of D-myo-inositol-2,4-diphosphate remain to be determined.
