Cyclohexane hexahydroxy

Related to the monosaccharides is the hexahydroxy-cyclohexane myo-inositol (Eq. 20-2). This cyditol, which is apparently present universally within cells (Fig. 11-9), can be formed from glucose-6-P according to Eq. 20-2 using a synthase that contains bound... [Pg.1131]

Inositol is hexahydroxy cyclohexane. Its particular importance is as a constituent of membrane lipids and it is important biochemically in the form of its phosphate esters, which have a role in cell-signalling. [Pg.81]
