General description

cis-4-methylsphingosine (cis-4M-Sph) is a methyl-branched sphingosine analog.

Biochem/physiol Actions

cis-4-methylsphingosine (cis-4M-Sph) modulates sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptor through its metabolite cis-4-methylsphingosine-1-phosphate (cis-4M-S1P). This leads to S1P receptor internalization and desensitization. cis-4M-Sph shows an inhibitory effect on serine palmitoyltransferase activity.
