Description
The enzyme is involved in the production of sphingolipid metabolites. It phosphorylates various sphingoid long-chain bases, such as sphingosine, D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine), phytosphingosine (4-hydroxysphinganine), 4-hydroxy-8-sphingenine, 4,8-sphingadienine and D-threo-dihydrosphingosine and L-threo-dihydrosphingosine. The exact substrate range depends on the species.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
SPHK1 (gene name); SPHK2 (gene name); dihydrosphingosine kinase; dihydrosphingosine kinase (phosphorylating); sphingosine kinase (phosphorylating); sphingoid base kinase; sphinganine kinase; ATP:sphinganine 1-phosphotransferase
Reaction
ATP + a sphingoid base = ADP + a sphingoid base 1-phosphate
