Description

Calcium phytate is a mineral salt that is found in plants, such as soybeans, wheat, and rice. It has been shown to have many physiological effects in model systems and insects. Calcium phytate binds to a signal peptide that is present in the cytoplasm of cells and causes an increase in cyclin D2 levels. This results in an increased rate of protein synthesis and cell differentiation. Calcium phytate also has an effect on sodium ions, which may be due to its ability to bind with calcium ions in the cytoplasm of cells. Calcium phytate inhibits p-nitrophenyl phosphate uptake by binding with it and preventing it from entering the cell membrane. The calcium ion has been shown to inhibit the oxidation of picolinic acid by acting as a reducing agent and blocking electron transfer to oxygen.
