Sphinganine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent signaling molecule involved in cell stress responses, cancer, angiogenesis and lymphocyte trafficking. Sphinganine 1-phosphate functions primarily by activating a subgroup of the endothelial differentiation gene (EDG) family of G-protein coupled cell surface receptors. Sphinganine 1-phosphate has opposite effects in the regulation of cell metabolism. Sphinganine 1-phosphate regulates skeletal muscle differentiation and regeneration.
Sphinganine 1-phosphate (S1P) is involved in cancer. Sphinganine 1-phosphate regulates processes such as inflammation, which can drive tumorigenesis; neovascularization, which provides cancer cells with nutrients and oxygen; and cell growth and survival.
Sphinganine-1-Phosphate (1 μM) phosphorylates ERK MAPK, Akt, and HSP27 and induces HSP27 in human renal endothelial cells.
