The phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) represent a small percentage of total membrane phospholipids. However, they play a critical role in the generation and transmission of cellular signals. PtdIns is phosphorylated to mono- (PtdIns-P; PIP), di- (PtdIns-P2; PIP2) and triphosphates (PtdIns-P3; PIP3). Hydrolysis of PIP2 by PI-specific phospholipase C generates IP3 and diacylglycerol (DAG). The DAG and IP3 produced by this reaction are part of a complex biochemical and signal transduction cascade that is at the frontier of scientific research today.
