Application

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine has been used:
  • as a standard lipid in quantification assay
  • in kinetics assay
  • to determine serine palmitoyl transferase activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine is a natural stereoisomer. The levels of dihydrosphingosine (DHS) is increased during unfolded protein response (UPR).
Biosynthetic precursor to sphingosine; inhibits protein kinase C.

The minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) of dihydrosphingosine (DHS), phytosphingosine (PHS), and five short-chain DHS derivatives was determined for Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. In this respect, a C15- and a C17-homologue of DHS showed a 2- to 10-fold decreased MFC

Interleukin (IL)-18 is involved in regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. Mice lacking whole-body IL-18 signalling are prone to develop weight gain and insulin resistance, a phenotype which is associated with impaired fat oxidation and ectopic skeletal muscle lipid deposition.
