Biochem/physiol Actions

InsS6 has a molecular footprint and negative surface charge that is similar to that of phytic acid (InsP6), but with lower biological activity. It is used as a control in studies of the cellular actions of phytic acid. It is also a competitive inhibitor of Aspergillus phytase.

Thrombin-clotting time of fibrinogen was delayed by inositol hexasulfate (IHS). Clotting time of the recalcified plasma was also delayed by IHS. Moreover, when IHS was intravenously injected into anesthetized male rabbits (0.11 mmoles/kg), it delayed clotting time of the recalcified

We examined the protective effect of inositol hexasulfate (IS6) against tobramycin (TOB)-induced nephrotoxicity. In the electrophoretic analysis, TOB alone and IS6 alone were observed as single spots on the cathode and anode sides, respectively. However, in the mixture of TOB

Previous studies demonstrated a multiplicity of isomers of inositol phosphates in GH3 rat pituitary tumour cells. In order to determine their origin, we have investigated the metabolism of radiolabelled inositol phosphates (IPn) in GH3 cell homogenates by using h.p.l.c. I(1,4,5)P3
