General description
Phytosphingosine is a biologically significant saturated long-chain sphingoid base, found in membranes of yeasts, fungi, plants and mammalian epidermis, including the stratum corneum.
Application
N-16:0 Phytosphingosine has been used as a lipid standard in electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomic analysis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phytosphingosine plays a vital role in the defense mechanism of the skin by exhibiting anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. It elicits keratinocyte differentiation and is therefore, used as an active ingredient in the cosmetic formulations. PHS helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the membranes. It also regulates cellular growth and mediates the heat stress response of yeast.

Membrane function is fundamental to life. Each species explores membrane lipid diversity within a genetically predefined range of possibilities. How membrane lipid composition in turn defines the functional space available for evolution of membrane-centered processes remains largely unknown. We address
