PLoS ONE, 2014 Given that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate is involved in cardiovascular pathophysiology, and since lipid accumulation and inflammation are hallmarks of calcific aortic stenosis, the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate on the pro-inflammatory/pro-

Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate and renal vasoconstriction [PDF]
Acta Physiologica, 2017 In the present issue of Acta Physiologica, Guan et al. in their article “Mechanisms of sphingosine-1-phosphate-mediated vasoconstriction of rat afferent arterioles” 1 address the signaling events associated with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-mediated renal afferent vasoconstriction and show in, technically demanding, blood-perfused juxtamedullary ...

Endothelial Functions of Sphingosine-1-phosphate
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010 The biologically active sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays key functions in the immune, inflammatory, and cardiovascular systems. In the vasculature, S1P and its receptors are involved in vessel morphogenesis and angiogenesis during embryonic development and in the adult organism both under normal and pathological conditions.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A 310‐helix‐mediated conformational switch promotes a front‐face SNi‐like catalysis by human A4GALT. Mechanism‐guided design identifies AdaGalCer as a selective modulator of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) biosynthesis, opening a clear route toward new Fabry disease therapeutics.

Bile acids as global regulators of hepatic nutrient metabolism
Liver Research, 2017 Bile acids (BA) are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. They are essential for promotion of the absorption of lipids, cholesterol, and lipid-soluble vitamins from the intestines.

Synthesis of sphingosine-1-phosphate and dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1994 The syntheses of D-erythro-sphingosine-1-phosphate and DL-erythro-sphinganine-1-phosphate are described starting from the commercially available D-erythro-sphingosine and DL-erythro-sphinganine.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase, a key regulator of sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling and function [PDF]
Advances in Enzyme Regulation, 2010 SPL is a highly conserved enzyme responsible for the irreversible degradation of the bioactive lipid, S1P. SPL regulates intracellular pools of S1P available for ligation of its five receptors and as such has a strong influence upon autocrine, paracrine and distant S1P signaling events.

Sphingosine-1 phosphate prevents ethanol-induced corneal epithelial apoptosis
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 Background: Apoptosis is a programmed cell death in multicellular organisms, found in a wide variety of conditions, including inflammatory process, everywhere in the body, including the cornea and conjunctiva. Aim: To evaluate the effect of a new topical
