General description

Brain sphingosine is a central metabolite, which is produced from the de novo synthesis of cellular sphingolipids. It is involved in growth, differentiation, survival and cell death. D-erythro-Sphingosine acts as a pharmacological inhibitor of protein kinase C in human platelets. It prevents platelet aggregation in cells.

Application

Brain sphingosine has been used as a standard in the fluorimetric determination of sphingosine in porcine enterocyte monosialogangliosides.
