Sphingosine kinase 1 has been used in a study to assess the modulation of cellular S1P levels. Sphingosine kinase 1 has also been used in a study to investigate how FTY720 normalizes hyperglycemia.
Biologische Aktivität
Converts sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate. SPHK1 shares two large conserved regions with SPHK2. While SPHK1 is found only in the cytosol, SPHK2 is localized in both the cytosol and nuclei.
