General description

4E,14Z-Sphingadiene is a unique sphingoid base containing C18 chain, with trans double bond at C-4 and cis double bond between C14 and C15 with a bent structure. It is found in the plasma, lymph, brain, kidney and lungs of humans and mice. 4E,14Z-Sphingadiene or d-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy-2-amino-4-trans-14-cis-octadecadiene is the second largest long-chain base of human plasma sphingomyelins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingadiene, a vital component of sphingolipids facilitates numerous processes such as apoptosis and cell signaling. It inhibits Akt/Wnt signaling and acts as an anticancer agent in colon cancer.

The dienic long-chain base (sphingadienine) of human plasma sphingomyelins has been identified as d-erythro-1,3-dihydroxy-2-amino-4-trans-14-cis-octadecadiene. A similar sphingosine was also detected in plasma sphingomyelins of rat, rabbit, and cat. The key reaction in the structural studies was partial reduction of sphingadienine

Sphingolipids are multifunctional lipids. Among the sphingolipid-component sphingoid bases, 4,14-sphingadiene (SPD) is unique such that it has a cis double bond with a bent structure. Although SPD was discovered half a century ago, its tissue distribution, biosynthesis, and degradation remain

"Sphingosin" was first described by J. L. W. Thudichum in 1884 and structurally characterized as 2S,3R,4E-2-aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol in 1947 by Herb Carter, who also proposed the designation of "lipides derived from sphingosine as sphingolipides." This category of amino alcohols is now
