General description
Sphingosine 1-phosphate-induced release of TIMP-2 from vascular smooth muscle cells inhibits angiogenesis.
Application
Sphingosine kinase 1 has been used in a study to assess the modulation of cellular S1P levels. Sphingosine kinase 1 has also been used in a study to investigate how FTY720 normalizes hyperglycemia.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Converts sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate. SPHK1 shares two large conserved regions with SPHK2. While SPHK1 is found only in the cytosol, SPHK2 is localized in both the cytosol and nuclei.
Unit Definition
One unit will produce 1.0 pmole of sphingosine-1-phosphate from ATP and D-erythro-sphingosine per minute at pH 7.4, 37 °C.
Physical form
Supplied in 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 50% glycerol, 3 mM DTT.

SphK (sphingosine kinase) is the major source of the bioactive lipid and GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptor) agonist S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate). S1P promotes cell growth, survival and migration, and is a key regulator of lymphocyte trafficking. Inhibition of S1P signalling has been

Loss of insulin-producing β-cell mass is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes in humans and diabetic db/db mice. Pancreatic β-cells can modulate their mass in response to a variety of physiological and pathophysiological cues. There are currently few effective therapeutic

Following myocardial infarction, angiogenesis occurs as a result of thrombus formation, which permits reperfusion of damaged myocardium. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a naturally occurring lipid mediator released from platelets and is found in high concentrations at sites of thrombosis. S1P
