This review assesses the authenticity of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP(6)) being a wide-ranging regulator of many important cellular functions. Against a background in which the possible importance of localized InsP(6) metabolism is discussed. there is the facile explanation that InsP(6) is merely an inactive precursor for the diphosphorylated inositol phosphates. Indeed. many of the proposed cellular functions of InsP(6) cannot sustain a challenge from the implementation of a rigorous set of criteria. which are designed to avoid experimental artefacts.
