General description

Sphinganine (d20:0), also known as C20 dihydrosphingosine or icosasphinganine, is a C20 analog of sphinganine. Sphinganine is a derivative of sphingosine. It is formed in endoplasmic reticulum, by decarboxylating condensation of palmitoyl-CoA and serine.

Application

Sphinganine (d20:0) has been used as a standard in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the quantitative analysis of plant sphingolipid long-chain bases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphinganine (d20:0) is implicated in yeast heat stress adaptation. Sphinganine inhibits protein kinase C in intact human neutrophils. It might act as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sphingolipidoses. It inhibits cholesterol transport in Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease.

A role for sphingolipids in the yeast heat stress response has been suggested by the isolation of suppressors of mutants lacking these lipids, which are unable to grow at elevated temperatures. The current study examines the possible role of sphingolipids

Sphingolipids are an important group of lipids that play crucial roles in living cells, facilitating cell recognition, signal transduction and endocytosis. The concentration of sphingosine and some of its derivatives like sphinganine may serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis

Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is a cholesterol lipidosis resulting from defective postlysosomal cholesterol transport. In normal cells this segment of cholesterol trafficking is inhibited by treatment with either U18666A or imipramine. Other compounds are also capable of blocking postlysosomal

Sphinganine has been proposed to be a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C. In the present study we have evaluated whether sphinganine is a convenient tool to probe for the role of protein kinase C in neutrophil function. Human neutrophils
