sphingosine 1-phosphate

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an agonist for S1P1-5 receptors and a ligand for GPR3, GPR6, and GPR12. As an intracellular second messenger, it mobilizes Ca2+ and acts as an extracellular ligand for G-protein coupled receptors. This important lipid mediator is generated from sphingosine or other membrane phospholipids.

D-erythro-Sphingosine (trans-4-Sphingenine) is a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. D-erythro-Sphingosine (Erythrosphingosine) is also a PP2A activator

Sphinganine 1-phosphate is an intermediate in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and is structurally similar to sphingosine. It has a protective effect on the kidney and liver through activation of the S1P1 receptor in mice. D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate acts as an agonist for S1P4 in Homo sapiens and may activate GPR63 (G protein-coupled receptor), mainly used in the study of Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, Krabbe disease and Leukodystrophy.
