Sphingosine Kinase 2 (human recombinant)

Stability : 6 months
Formulation :
10 µg in 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM sodium chloride, 0.05% Tween 20, 50% glycerol, and 3mM DTT
Description :
Sphingosine kinase (SPHK) is an important enzyme in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway. SPHKs phosphorylate sphingolipid D-erythro-sphingosine to yield sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). To date, two isoforms of SPHK, SPHK 1 and SPHK 2, have been identified and characterized from mammalian cells. SKs, through the formation of S1P, have been implicated in a diverse range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, angiogenesis, and vascular maturation. Thus SPHKs are potential therapeutic targets for the control of cancer, inflammation, and other diseases.
