General description
Sphingosine is the most bioactive sphingoid and a constituent of cell membrane. NBD sphingosine is a derivative of sphingosine tagged with the fluorophore, 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) group.
Application
NBD Sphingosine or omega(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)(2S,3R,4E)-2-aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol has been used to measure sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) and sphingosine kinase 2 (SPK2) activity. NBD Sphingosine may be used as a negative control to determine the binding of Atg12-Atg5 conjugate with phosphatidylethanolamine(PE)-containing liposomes and to label sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) to determine its role in endocytic membrane trafficking.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sphingosine is the precursor of ceramide. It plays a major role as a selective inhibitor of protein kinase C.

Sphingosine, at 5-15 mol % total lipids, remarkably increases the permeability to aqueous solutes of liposomal and erythrocyte ghost membranes. The increased permeability cannot be interpreted in terms of leakage occurring at the early stages of a putative membrane solubilization

The bioactive sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and the enzyme that produces it, SPHK1 (sphingosine kinase 1), regulate many processes important for the etiology of cancer. It has been suggested that SPHK1 levels are regulated by the tumor suppressor protein TP53
TP53 is required for BECN1-and ATG5-dependent cell death induced by sphingosine kinase 1 inhibition
