General description

Lyso SM (d18:1), also known as sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), is a bioactive lipid molecule. This lysophospholipid is present in normal blood plasma, ascites and various tissues.

Application

Lyso SM (d18:1) has been used:
  • to study its effect on the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1), in the presence and absence of calmodulin through single channel recordings in planar lipid bilayers
  • as an inhibitor of Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM)
  • as a standard in circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to determine lipid selectivity of the lipid-peptide interactions

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lyso SM (d18:1) or sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is a lipid mediator that exhibits second messenger functions. It regulates ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and releases Ca2+ from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. Lyso SM (d18:1) acts as an endogenous inhibitor of ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM).

Compared to the lysophospholipid mediators, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), little information is available regarding the molecular mechanisms of action, metabolism and physiological significance of the related sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC). S1P and LPA have recently been established as agonists at

Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), a lipid mediator with putative second messenger functions, has been reported to regulate ryanodine receptors (RyRs), Ca2+ channels of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. RyRs are also regulated by the ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM), and we have previously shown

In this study, we applied fluorescence spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and 2H NMR to elucidate the properties of nanoscopic segregated domains in stearoylsphingomyelin (SSM)/dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and dihydrostearoylsphingomyelin (dhSSM)/DOPC binary membranes. The results obtained from fluorescence measurements suggest the existence

G2A is an immunoregulatory G protein-coupled receptor predominantly expressed in lymphocytes and macrophages. Ectopic overexpression studies have implicated G2A as a receptor for the bioactive lysophospholipid, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). However, the functional consequences of LPC-G2A interaction at physiological levels of receptor
