Application

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine has been used:
  • as a standard lipid in quantification assay
  • in kinetics assay
  • to determine serine palmitoyl transferase activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine is a natural stereoisomer. The levels of dihydrosphingosine (DHS) is increased during unfolded protein response (UPR).
Biosynthetic precursor to sphingosine; inhibits protein kinase C.
