Application

NBD sphingosine-1-phosphate has been used as a substrate in the detection of sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatases (SPPase) enzymatic activity by in vitro assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) initiates DNA synthesis. It is also involved in cell division, cell growth and platelet activation. S1P mediates cell movement, differentiation and survival. It specifically stimulates endothelial cells.

General description

Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a phosphorylated sphingosine analog and is polar. It is terminally labelled by fluorescent nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) group. Sphingosine-1-phosphate is abundantly stored in platelets.
