Inositol 1,4,5-trisphospate, more well known as IP₃ is a common secondary messenger molecule synthsised in the plasma membrane from the hydrolysis of phospholipid, PIP₂, by phospholipase C. Its main role is in cell signalling pathways. IP₃ is involved in the pathway for muscle contraction whereby calcium ions are release when IP₃ binds to the receptor proteins on the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the muscle cell.
