Question

Myo-inositol, the most prominent naturally occurring form of inositols, is a carbocyclic polyol that plays an important role as the structural basis for a number of secondary messengers in eukaryotic cells. It is generated in vivo from the aldol cyclization of glucose-6-phosphate to myo-inositol-1-phosphate
