Inositol phosphates are important signaling molecules involved in numerous cellular functions. Inositol 1,2,6-trisphosphate (Ins(1,2,6)P3), or trinositol, is an analog of Ins(1,4,5)P3 which inhibits inflammatory reactions, inhibits edema formation in skin burns, inhibits vasoconstriction by neropeptide Y (NPY), and treats acute nerve function abnormalities in diabetes.
