PtdIns metabolism spawns a variety of signalling cassettes.
The metabolism of PtdIns creates a number of lipid and inositol phosphate derivatives that operate a variety of signalling cassettes. PtdIns4,5P 2 is a
nodal point for a number of signalling cassettes. It is the precursor that is hydrolysed to generate the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate
(InsP 3 ) and diacylglycerol (DAG). It is phosphorylated further to form the lipid second messenger PtdIns3,4,5P 3 . The localized turnover of PtdIns4,5P 2
also has a signalling role within the PtdIns4,5P 2 signalling cassette that regulates a variety of processes such as the cytoskeleton, control of the
processes of membrane trafficking and exocytosis and the regulation of ion channels and exchangers. Finally, the InsP 3 enters a complex pathway
of inositol phosphate metabolism that generates components of the multipurpose inositol polyphosphate signalling cassette.

central conserved catalytic domain: InsP 3 is metabolized close to its site of action at the plasma
membrane.
