General description
Sphingosine (d18:1) is a spingoid base present in plant and animals. It has 2-amino-1,3-diol functionality and its extraction from animal tissue is laborious. Sphingosine (d18:1) synthesis is performed by chirospecific method using D-galactose.
Application
Sphingosine (d18:1) has been used:
- for sphingosine inhalations studies in mice to evaluate its therapeutic potential in respiratory epithelial cells
- to investigate its effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains
- as a standard in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrophotometry for the quantification of epidermal ceramides
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sphingosine (d18:1) is essential for physiological processes including cell differentiation, growth and survival. It activates the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily member 3 (TRPM3).
