D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine, >=98%

Application

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine has been used:as a standard lipid in quantification assayin kinetics assayto determine serine palmitoyl transferase activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Biosynthetic precursor to sphingosine; inhibits protein kinase C.

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine is a natural stereoisomer. The levels of dihydrosphingosine (DHS) is increased during unfolded protein response (UPR).
