Abstract
Hydrolysis of both enantiomers of inositol 1-phosphate and both enantiomers of inositol 4-phosphate to inositol is inhibited by LiCl in liver and brain. 2. The phosphatase activity is predominantly soluble. 3. Inositol 1,4-bisphosphate is also hydrolysed by the soluble fraction of liver and brain. 4. Bisphosphatase activity is inhibited by LiCl, but is less sensitive than monophosphatase activity. 5. The product of bisphosphatase in liver and brain is inositol 4-phosphate.
