An oncogenic role of sphingosine kinase [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 Sphingosine kinase (SphK) is a highly conserved lipid kinase that phosphorylates sphingosine to form sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P/SphK has been implicated as a signalling pathway to regulate diverse cellular functions [1-3], including cell growth, proliferation and survival [4-8].

Cellular signalling by sphingosine kinase and sphingosine 1‐phosphate [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2006 AbstractSphingosine kinases, through the formation of the bioactive phospholipid sphingosine 1‐phosphate, have been implicated in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, angiogenesis and vascular maturation. The last few years have seen a number of significant advances in understanding of the

Sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling and the gut-liver axis in liver diseases
Liver Research, 2019 The liver is the central organ involved in lipid metabolism and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for nutrient absorption and partitioning. Obesity, dyslipidemia and metabolic disorders are of increasing public health concern worldwide, and ...
