General description

Sphingosine is the most bioactive sphingoid with the common long chain base in sphingolipids. It is a constituent of the cell membrane. 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) sphingosine is a derivative of sphingosine attached with the fluorescent probe, 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 may be used:
  • as a negative control to determine the binding of Atg12-Atg5 conjugate with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-containing liposomes
  • to label sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) in order to determine its role in endocytic membrane trafficking
  • to generate 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl (NBD)-ceramide C16

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingosine serves as a precursor for ceramide. It is involved in the inhibition of protein kinase C in human platelets.

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

Our previous findings suggest that sphingosine kinase 2 (SPK2) mediates ischemic tolerance and autophagy in cerebral preconditioning. The aim of this study was to determine by which mechanism SPK2 activates autophagy in neural cells. In both primary murine cortical neurons

Autophagy is responsible for the bulk degradation of cytosolic constituents and plays an essential role in the intestinal epithelium by controlling beneficial host-bacterial relationships. Atg5 and Atg7 are thought to be critical for autophagy. However, Atg5- or Atg7-deficient cells still
