D-myo-Inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate trisodium

Description: D-myo-Inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate trisodium (Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate trisodium) is a second messenger produced in cells by the phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. It binds to Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors, resulting in the opening of calcium channels and an increase in intracellular calcium. Target: Calcium Channel. Smiles: O=P(O)(O)O[C@H]1[C@@H]([C@H]([C@H]([C@H]([C@@H]1O)OP(O)(O)=O)O)O)OP(O)(O)=O.[Na].[Na].[Na]. References: Streb H, et al. Release of Ca2+ from a nonmitochondrial intracellular store in pancreatic acinar cells by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. Nature. 1983,306(5938):67-69.
