D-threo-dihydrosphingosine

Description:
D-threo-dihydrosphingosine, with the CAS number 6036-86-8, is a sphingolipid precursor that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of complex sphingolipids. This compound is characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain, which typically contains an amine group and a hydroxyl group, contributing to its amphipathic nature. D-threo-dihydrosphingosine is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water. Its structure features a sphingoid backbone, which is essential for the formation of various bioactive lipids, including ceramides and sphingomyelins. This compound is significant in cellular signaling and membrane structure, influencing processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Additionally, it is often used in biochemical research to study sphingolipid metabolism and related pathways. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its sensitivity to oxidation and potential reactivity with other chemical agents.
