Sphinganine-1-phosphate (d17:0) is a sphingolipid analog of sphinganine-1-phosphate (d18:0) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (d18:1) that has a 17-carbon base. Sphinganine-1-phosphate (d17:0) levels are lower in surgical and cadaver trabecular meshwork samples isolated from patients with primary open angle glaucoma compared with control samples.
Sphinganine 1-phosphate, also known as D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate, is a polar sphingolipid metabolite. It plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes including cell migration, differentiation, survival, and complex physiological processes.
D-threo Sphinganine (d18:0) is a synthetic bioactive sphingolipid and stereoisomer of sphinganine (d18:0) and L-erythro sphinganine (d18:0) . It induces autophagy in HCT116 cells when used at a concentration of 12 μM. D-threo Sphinganine (d18:0) is metabolized via sphinganine N-acyltransferase and sphinganine kinase in vivo in rat liver.
Sphinganine (d20:0) is a natural isomer of dihydro-D-erythro-sphinganine (sphinganine (d18:0); that is a precursor of ceramide and sphingosine as well as a substrate for sphingosine kinases, which generate sphingosine-1-phosphate (d18:1) . In S. cerevisiae, the amount of sphinganine (d20:0) increases 10.8-fold in response to heat stress, indicating it is involved in heat stress adaptation. Sphinganine levels increase significantly in response to certain mycotoxins, including fumonisins as well as in some cancers. Sphinganine can block protein kinase C activation in some cases but not others.
Sphinganine is a synthetic bioactive sphingolipid that inhibits the growth of C. glabrata and C. albicans with a minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) value of 0.5 μg/ml for both. More commonly, sphinganine is used as an internal standard in the analysis of sphingoid compounds by chromatographic or spectrometric methods.
DL-erythro/threo Sphinganine (d16:0) is a sphingolipid that is decreased in rats following long-term, low-dose administration of dimethoate and is used as a biomarker for dimethoate exposure. It has been found in the fermentation broth of Bacterium SRCnm, which has antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. This product is a mixture of sphinganine (d16:0), L-erythro sphinganine (d16:0), D-threo sphinganine (d16:0), and L-threo sphinganine (d16:0).
3-Keto Sphinganine (d12:0) is a short-chain analog of 3-keto sphinganine (d18:0), which typically possesses a C18 chain length. The latter is a lyso-sphingolipid synthesized through the condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA mediated by the enzyme serine palmitoyl transferase (SPT). A deficiency in Vitamin K deactivates SPT, leading to a reduced synthesis of 3-keto sphinganine among other sphingolipids. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1893]

A6770 is an inhibitor of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase.1It induces accumulation of [3H]sphinganine-1-phosphate ([3H]dhS1P), an S1P lyase substrate, in IT-79MTNC3 cells that endogenously express high levels of S1P lyase (EC50= <0.01 μM), an effect that is reduced in the presence of vitamin B6(EC50= <100 μM). 1.Ohtoyo, M., Tamura, M., Machinaga, N., et al.Scintillation proximity assay to detect the changes in cellular dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate levelsLipids51(10)1207-1216(2016)
