General description
Phytosphingosine (PHS) is one of the important constituent of phytoceramides. This sphingoid has a hydroxyl group at C-4 of the sphingoid long-chain base. PHS is a component of mammalian epidermis and is widely distributed in fungi and plants. Nitrobenzoxadiazole/7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) is a fluorescent conjugate.
Application
NBD Phytosphingosine has been used as a substrate in ceramide synthase assays.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phytosphingosine (PHS) is capable of activating G-protein coupled receptor 120 (GPR120). Treating cultured keratinocytes (KC) with PHS can enhance the content of ceramide NP. It plays as key role in epidermal differentiation and also possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.
