D-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate (cyclohexyl ammonium salt)

D-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate (cyclohexyl ammonium salt) (CAS No.: 106032-59-1) is a phosphorylated inositol derivative that serves as a key intermediate in inositol metabolism and is widely utilized in the study of intracellular signaling pathways. As a component associated with the phosphatidylinositol (PI) cycle, it plays a central role in regulating diverse cellular processes, including calcium ion mobilization, membrane trafficking, and cell proliferation. This compound is commonly employed as a biochemical tool to investigate inositol phosphate turnover and the activity of enzymes such as inositol monophosphatases and kinases that govern phosphoinositide signaling networks. Through its involvement in these pathways, it supports mechanistic studies aimed at understanding signal transduction cascades underlying cellular homeostasis, metabolic regulation, and pathological alterations. In vitro applications typically focus on probing enzyme kinetics or pathway modulation, with activity observed broadly within concentration ranges that depend on assay design, often spanning low micromolar to higher micromolar levels. In research settings, it is frequently incorporated into cell-based assays or biochemical systems to dissect phosphoinositide-dependent signaling and to facilitate compound screening efforts targeting enzymes within the inositol signaling axis, with experimental concentrations selected according to specific model systems and investigative objectives.
