Application

Myo-Inositol, an organic osmolyte, is used to improve ovarian function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Myo-Inositol may be used to study the H+-myo-inositol transporter SLC2A13, a Potential Marker for Cancer Stem Cells in an Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A component of membrane phospholipids, glycosyl­phosphatidyl­inositol anchors that bind glycoproteins to cell membranes, and inositol phosphate second messengers.

Alterations in the level of dietary inositol can significantly influence the concentration of free inositol and inositol-containing phospholipid in the circulation and in selected mammalian tissues and cells. The 1-stearoyl 2-arachidonyl molecular species that commonly predominates in cellular phosphoinositides may
