General description

Lyso SM (d18:1), also known as sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), is a bioactive lipid molecule. This lysophospholipid is present in normal blood plasma, ascites and various tissues.

Application

Lyso SM (d18:1) has been used:
  • to study its effect on the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1), in the presence and absence of calmodulin through single channel recordings in planar lipid bilayers
  • as an inhibitor of Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM)
  • as a standard in circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to determine lipid selectivity of the lipid-peptide interactions

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lyso SM (d18:1) or sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is a lipid mediator that exhibits second messenger functions. It regulates ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and releases Ca2+ from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. Lyso SM (d18:1) acts as an endogenous inhibitor of ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM).
