Function |
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Also acts on D-erythro-sphingosine and to a lesser extent sphinganine, but not other lipids, such as D,L-threo-dihydrosphingosine, N,N-dimethylsphingosine, diacylglycerol, ceramide, or phosphatidylinositol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20577214, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23602659}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane. Note=Translocated from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane in a CIB1-dependent manner.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed with highest levels in adult liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10802064}.

Top Pathways |
VEGF signaling pathway, Calcium signaling pathway, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, Tuberculosis, Sphingolipid signaling pathway
