Description
 Phytic acid, dodecasodium salt is present in all eukaryotic cells and functions as a phosphate storage depot and precursor to inositol phosphates and pyrophosphates in plant species.  It is also a chelator of divalent and trivalent cations and acts with nuclear pore protein Gle1 in yeast.  Phytic acid is used to determine zinc bioavailability.
