General description
Sphingosine (d20:1), also known as icosasphingosine, is a synthetic sphingosine with 20 carbon long chain bases (LCB). It is directly produced by the sphingolipid de novo synthesis pathway and not by hydrolysis of complex sphingolipids. In higher animals, it is one of the most abundant sphingoid bases of gangliosides.
Application
Sphingosine (d20:1) has been used as a reference substance in liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry analysis to quantitatively analyze sphingolipids with C20- long chain bases in human central nervous tissue.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sphingosine (d20:1) or C20-sphingosine acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of ceramides, which are vital components of mammalian epidermis. It may be involved in regulation of epidermal differentiation. C20 long chain bases-containing sphingolipids might exhibit detrimental effect on protein homeostasis and neural functions.

Sphingolipids typically have an 18-carbon (C18) sphingoid long chain base (LCB) backbone. Although sphingolipids with LCBs of other chain lengths have been identified, the functional significance of these low-abundance sphingolipids is unknown. The LCB chain length is determined by serine

Sphingosines and phytosphingosines serve as intermediates in the synthesis of ceramides and glucosylceramides, which are prominent components of mammalian epidermis. In the present study, we have investigated the possibility that free sphingoid bases also may be present in epidermal tissue.

Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids. They occur especially on the cellular surfaces of neuronal cells, where they form a complex pattern, but are also found in many other cell types. The paper provides a general overview on their structures, occurrence

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) signaling influences numerous cell biological mechanisms such as differentiation, proliferation, survival, migration, and angiogenesis. Intriguingly, our current knowledge is based solely on the role of S1P with an 18-carbon long-chain base length, S1P d18:1. Depending on the
