“…The inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) biosynthetic pathway is a promising target in metabolic diseases, osteoporosis, thromboembolism, infection, cancer metastasis, and aging. − Inositol pyrophosphates are conserved eukaryotic messenger molecules with functionally significant and highly “energetic” diphosphate groups. , They play crucial roles in diverse cellular functions including insulin secretion and signaling, ,, ATP production, and DNA damage sensing and repair . Many of these effects contribute to an overarching role for PP-InsPs in regulating bioenergetic homeostasis. ,, The initial and primary reaction in the PP-InsP synthetic pathway is the phosphorylation of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP 6 ) to 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-InsP 7 ) by a family of small molecule kinases known as IP6K1, IP6K2, and IP6K3.…”
