General description

Sphingosine (d17:1) or D-erythro-sphingosine is a 17-carbon sphingolipid, found in human skin. It has one carbon less than naturally occurring C18-sphingosine.

Application

Sphingosine (d17:1) has been used as a lipid standard in the analysis of sphingolipids by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingosine acts a precursor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Sphingosine C-17 is used as an internal standard in the analysis of sphingolipids by spectrometric methods.
