General description

3-deoxy-sphingosine is a structural analog of the long chain sphingoid base, sphingosine. It has four diastereoisomer, namely (R,E)-,(R,Z)-,(S,E)-,(S,Z)-produced from D- and L-serine.

Application

3-deoxy sphingosine has been used in the synthesis of ceramide analogs.

Sphingolipids are essential molecules of the mammalian epidermis. Keratinocytes generate and secrete huge amounts of ceramide-precursors to the extracellular domain of the stratum corneum, where they are further metabolized to specific ceramide species.

Intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization is a useful readout to screen for agonists or antagonists of G-protein -coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we describe methods to conduct high-throughput screening of stably or transiently transfected HTC4 cells expressing the individual S1P1-5 receptor subtypes. The

Ceramides are important intermediates in sphingolipid biosynthesis (and degradation) and are normally present in only small amounts in unstressed cells. However, following receptor-mediated activation of neutral sphingomyelinase, sphingomyelin can acutely give rise to substantial amounts of ceramides, which dramatically alter
