Introduction
These enzymes belong to a special class of
phosphomonoesterases myo-inositol
hexakisphosphate 3-phosphorylase,
and myo-inositol hexakisphosphate 6-
phosphorylase,
Animal-related factors:
Endogenous phytase activity occurs in the colons of pigs.
Supplementing diets with exogenous phytase shifts phytase
activity to the stomach and upper small intestine. The pH in a
pig’s stomach is 2-2.5 while pH in the crop is 5.2-5.8. This
difference in pH of the main phytase activity sites between species
results in different catalytic efficiencies of the phytase enzyme.
Dietary-related factors:
Phytate level and its interaction with cations and proteins
determines the amount and rate of insoluble mineral-phytate or
protein-mineral-phytate complexes formed.
