sphingosine, Sphingosine (2-amino-4-trans-octadecene-1,3-diol, C18 Sphingosine), is an amino alcohol with 18 carbon atoms of unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. it forms the main part of sphingolipids. sphingolipids are a kind of cell membrane lipids, including sphingomyelin, an important phospholipid.

Human Endogenous Metabolite
A p32-sphingosine-activated protein kinase responds to low concentrations of D-erythro-Sphingosine with an initial activation observed at 2.5 μM and a peak activity at 10-20 μM. This kinase shows a modest specificity for D-erythro-Sphingosine over other sphingosine tereoisomers, and a preference for sphingosines over ihydrosphingosines. D-erythro-Sphingosine inhibits protein kinase C in vitro. D-erythro-Sphingosine has been shown to inhibit protein kinase C, which affects cell regulation and several signal transduction pathways, and exhibits antitumor promoter activities in various mammalian cells.
