Ip1
Ip1, commonly written IP1, refers to inositol-1-phosphate, also known as myo-inositol monophosphate. It is a monoester of the cyclohexane sugar myo-inositol and a single phosphate group, and it belongs to the family of inositol phosphates involved in cellular metabolism and signaling.
Biosynthesis and metabolism: Inositol phosphates arise from inositol lipids in the cell. Phospholipase C hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol
Biological significance and measurement: IP1 itself has relatively modest signaling activity but serves as an intermediate
