Abstract
Sphingosine kinase (SK) catalyses the phosphorylation of sphingosine
to produce sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a
bioactive lipid that regulates cell proliferation, survival, migration etc. Extracellular S1P mediates its effects by binding to a family of
five closely related G protein coupled receptors, S1P1-5. In
addition, intracellular S1P may bind to undefined intracellular
targets to elicit cellular responses.
