L-erythro Sphinganine (d18:0) is a synthetic bioactive sphingolipid and stereoisomer of sphinganine (d18:0) and D-threo sphinganine . It induces autophagy in HCT116 cells when used at a concentration of 12 μM. L-erythro Sphinganine induces cell cycle arrest of 7R4-LCB1 yeast cells. It is metabolized via sphinganine N-acyltransferase and sphinganine kinase in vivo in rat liver. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1846]
