General description

1-desoxymethylsphinganine is synthesized by the condensation of alanine with palmitoyl-CoA.

Application

1-desoxymethylsphinganine is suitable for use for testing its cytotoxic effects on primary neuron-glia cultures. It is also suitable for use as a neurotoxic agent in human CD8+ T cells. In hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type I, mutations in serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 1 resulting in altered substrate specificity and accumulation of 1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-desoxymethylsphinganine is neurotoxic towards CD8+ T cells and inhibits cytokine production. However, it is not cytotoxic to dopaminergic neurons.
