General description

1-deoxysphinganine is an atypical sphingoid base, which lacks a 1-hydroxyl group.

Application

N-C24:1-deoxysphinganine or N-nervonoyl-1-deoxysphinganine (m18:0/24:1) has been used as a standard in the quantitation of  atypical sphingoid bases in biological samples by reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-deoxysphinganine might be toxic to cancer cells. It is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes. 1-deoxysphinganine acts as a cytotoxic lipid for insulin producing cells.

Irreversible failure of pancreatic β-cells is the main culprit in the pathophysiology of diabetes, a disease that is now a global epidemic. Recently, elevated plasma levels of deoxysphingolipids, including 1-deoxysphinganine, have been identified as a novel biomarker for the disease.

Most common sphingolipids are comprised of "typical" sphingoid bases (sphinganine, sphingosine, and structurally related compounds) and are produced via the condensation of l-serine with a fatty acyl-CoA by serine palmitoyltransferase. Some organisms, including mammals, also produce "atypical" sphingoid bases that

Ceramides and dihydroceramides are N-acyl derivatives of sphingosine and sphinganine, respectively, which are the major sphingoid-base backbones of mammals. Recent studies have found that mammals, like certain other organisms, also produce 1-deoxy-(dihydro)ceramides (1-deoxyDHCers) that contain sphingoid bases lacking the 1-hydroxyl-

"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
