Specification: |
1. Sphingosine (CAS NO.123-78-4), its Synonyms are 2-Aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol ; 4-Octadecene-1,3-diol, 2-amino-, (R-(R*,S*-(E)))- ; (E)-2-Amino-4-octadecan-1,3-diol . It is white crystalline solid.
2. Sphingosine is an 18-carbon amino alcohol with an unsaturated hydrocarbon chain, which forms a primary part of sphingolipids, a class of cell membrane lipids that include sphingomyelin, an important phospholipid.

Biological Activity: | Inhibitor of protein kinase C and calmodulin-dependent enzymes, but may stimulate mast cells by activation of protein kinase C. |
Flash Point: | 445.9°Cat760mmHg |
Storage Temperature: | −20°C |
Usage: |
1.Sphingosine (CAS NO.123-78-4) does not inhibit protein kinase A or myosin light chain kinase; it inhibits calmodulin-dependent enzymes; it is natural isomer of sphingosine .
2. Sphingosine can be phosphorylated in vivo via two kinases, sphingosine kinase type 1 and sphingosine kinase type 2. This leads to the formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate, a potent signaling lipid.
