Descripción general

Myo-Inositol, also known as i-Inositol, is a sugar alcohol and functions as a growth factor for both animals and microorganisms. Classified as a pseudovitamin, it doesn′t meet the essential vitamin criteria, as its deficiency doesn′t lead to disease conditions despite its vital role in the body. This polyol is abundantly present and serves as a structural element in eukaryotic cell secondary messengers, playing crucial roles in biological processes like insulin signal transduction and cytoskeleton transduction.

Myo-Inositol, a key component in structural lipids like phosphatidylinositol (PI) and its various phosphates, including phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) lipids. It plays the role of an osmolyte, cell culture media supplement, nutrient, phosphoinositide phospholipase C inhibitor, and metabolite. It participates in cell signaling, potentially stimulating tumor cell differentiation, and is found in cell membrane phospholipids, plasma lipoproteins, and the nucleus, showcasing potential chemopreventive properties. Myo-Inositol is a versatile compound that finds application in cell culture, metabolomics and biochemical research, contributing to the exploration of cellular processes and their impact on health and disease.
myo-Inositol (MI) is a sugar-like molecule present primarily in the glial cells of the human brain. 

Aplicación

myo-Inositol has been used:
  • in the liquid basal medium as a control for the inositol starvation of cultures
  • as a supplement in synthetic oviduct fluid medium for embryo culture
  • as a component of Fuji vitamin solution to prepare nutritive medium for the growth of sugarcane plantlets

Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas

myo-Inositol (MI) serves as an osmolyte, and it aids the formation of the cell membrane and myelin sheet structures. It functions as a crucial precursor of membrane phospho-inositides and phospholipids. Elevated concentration of myo-Inositol (MI) is observed in several brain disorders such as Alzheimer′s disease, gliomatosis cerebri, and diabetes mellitus. Myo-Inositol is a constituent of membrane phospholipids, glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors that can bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers.

In the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, over 1000 putative genes encoding small, presumably secreted, signalling peptides can be recognized. However, a major obstacle in identifying the function of genes encoding small signalling peptides is the limited number of available loss-of-function mutants.
