Description and Uses
Dihydrosphingosine (764-22-7) is a biosynthetic precursor of sphingosine. Inhibitor of protein kinase C1?and phospholipases A2 and D2.
Sphinganine (d18:0) has been used:
- as a standard in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrophotometry for the quantification of epidermal ceramides
- as a medium supplement to test its effect on growth of yeast cells
- in the preparation of bovine serum albumin lipid complex to investigate its effect on non-lysosomal - glucosylceramidase β2 (GBA2) inhibition
