Chemical Information
FooDB NameSphingosine
DescriptionA 18-carbon amino alcohol with a long unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. Sphingosine and its derivative sphinganine are the major bases of the sphingolipids in mammals. (Dorland, 28th ed.) Sphingosine can be phosphorylated in vivo via two kinases, sphingosine kinase type 1 and sphingosine kinase type 2. This leads to the formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate, a potent signaling lipid. [HMDB]. Sphingosine is found in many foods, some of which are alaska blueberry, watercress, redcurrant, and rowanberry.
