Common NameMyo-inositol hexakisphosphate
DescriptionMyo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is an intermediate in inositol phosphate metabolism. It can be generated from D-myo-Inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate via the enzyme inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase (EC:2.7.1.158). Myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is also known as phytic acid. It can be used clinically as a complexing agent for removal of traces of heavy metal ions. It acts also as a hypocalcemic agent. Phytic acid is a strong chelator of important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.
