General description

Sphingosine (d22:1) is a sphingosine with 20 carbon long chain bases (LCB). It is a component of Asterias amurensis glucosylceramide.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingosine negatively regulates cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. It has an ability to regulate the activities of phospholipases, protein kinases, ion channels, cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB-1) receptors and steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) receptors.

Asterias amurensis starfish provide several bioactive species in addition to being fishery waste. Glucosyl ceramides (GlcCers) were extracted from the viscera of these starfish and were isolated by silica gel column chromatography. Degraded GlcCers generated A. amurensis sphingoid bases (ASBs)

The sphingolipid metabolites ceramide, sphingosine, and sphingosine 1-phosphate contribute to controlling cell proliferation and apoptosis. Ceramide and its catabolite sphingosine act as negative regulators of cell proliferation and promote apoptosis. Conversely, sphingosine 1-phosphate, formed by phosphorylation of sphingosine by a
