4E;11Z-SPHINGADIENE

Application

4E,11Z-Sphingadiene has been used as a standard in 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD)-ultra high resolution tandem mass spectrometry for its detailed structural characterization.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingadienes are growth-inhibitory sphingoid bases, involved in apoptosis and cell signaling. It inhibits Akt/Wnt signaling that might contribute to their chemopreventive properties in colon cancer.

General description

4E,11Z-Sphingadiene is a unique sphingoid base containing trans double bond at C4 and cis double bond at C11 positions along the sphingoid base alkyl chain. Sphingadienes are found in insects, marine organisms, legumes including soybeans and soy products.
