“…The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs), particularly 1-InsP 7 , 5-InsP 7 , and 1,5-InsP 8 ( Appendix A ; Figure 1 ) are highly ‘energetic’ and diffusible signaling molecules that play important roles in many cellular processes throughout the eukaryotic kingdoms, particularly with regards to phosphate and bioenergetic homeostasis, both of which can have profound metabolic and physiological consequences [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Indeed, it is hard to overstate the significance of dovetailing any signal transduction cascade with metabolic circuitry.…”
