Functions

Endogenous sphingolipid found in cells esterified as phosphatidylcholine (sphingomyelin) and released by the action of sphingomyelinases. Potent and selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50=1-3 µM). Inhibition is competitive with DAG, phorbol esters and Ca2+. May be phosphorylated by sphingosine kinases producing sphingosine-1-phosphate, a bioactive lipid producing a plethora of biological effects.

Application Procedures

First dissolved in DMSO (up to 25 mg/ml with warming) or in Ethanol (up to 25 mg/ml with warming), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO or Ethanol may be stored at -20°C for up to 3 months.
