The metabolism and the functions of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates
Abstract: This review describes current understanding of the metabolism and the functions of a subgroup of the inositol phosphate signaling family which contain diphosphate groups (the diphosphoinositol polyphosphates, often called “inositol pyrophosphates”). The review begins with a short historical perspective of this field of research. There is a section on the enzymology of the kinases and phosphatases that
