General description
D-ribo-phytosphingosine (C17 base), also known as 4D-hydroxysphinganine or PHS, is widely found in membranes of fungi, plants, bacteria, marine organisms and mammalian tissues.
Application
D-ribo-phytosphingosine (C17 base) has been used as a standard for the quantification of total plant long-chain bases (LCB) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-ribo-phytosphingosine helps in maintaining the structural integrity of membrane. It also controls cellular growth and mediates the heat stress response of yeast. In addition, PHS acts as a precursor for synthesis of various key lipid mediators including PHS 1-phosphate, inositol phosphorylceramide and KRN7000 (α-anomer of galactosylceramide). This phospholipid also has an ability to stimulate keratinocyte differentiation. Therefore, PHS is used as an active constituent in cosmetic formulations.

In eukaryotic organisms, sphingolipids are major structural lipids of biological membranes and perform additional essential functions as signalling molecules. While long-chain bases (LCB), the common precursor to all sphingolipid classes, is represented by only one major molecular species in animals
