c-12-sphingosine

C12-Sphingosine (Sphingosine (d12:1)) is a sphingosine congener with 12 carbon atoms, inducing serine palmitoyltransferase activity in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a member of the phorbol ester group of natural products, activates PKC, SphK, and NF-κB, and induces THP1 cell differentiation.

C12-Ceramide (C12 Ceramide (d18:1 12:0)), a ceramide present in the protective membranes surrounding umbilical cord blood vessels in infants born to women with pre-eclampsia, can be used to assess the level of ASM activity in the plasma of patients with Niemann-Pick disease.

Sphingosine (d14:1) is a bioactive sphingolipid that has been found in B. mori (silkworm), P. clarkii (crayfish), and A. aurita (jellyfish) extracts. It increases the germination rate of N. rileyi, an entomopathogenic fungus, with an EC50 value of 10.2 nM. Sphingosine (d14:1) inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro (IC50 = 7.3 mol%) as well as superoxide generation induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in neutrophils and reduces growth of CHO cells (IC50s = 19 and 8 μM, respectively).

S-Geranylgeranyl-L-glutathione acts as a ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) P2RY8, displaying selective affinity by inducing internalization of P2RY8 in preference to the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1P2), GPR55, cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1 receptor), and the CysLT2 receptor at a concentration of 100 nM. Additionally, at a lower concentration of 10 nM, S-Geranylgeranyl-L-glutathione inhibits the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12-induced migration of both P2RY8-expressing WEHI-231 B cell lymphoma cells and human tonsil germinal center B cells.
