CAS 6918-49-6: C20-Sphingosine

Description: C20-Sphingosine, also known as sphinganine, is a long-chain amino alcohol that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and membrane structure. It is characterized by a long hydrocarbon chain, typically containing 20 carbon atoms, and features a primary amino group and multiple hydroxyl groups. This structure contributes to its amphipathic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. C20-Sphingosine is a key component of sphingolipids, which are essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity and participating in signaling pathways related to cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. The substance is also involved in the synthesis of ceramides and other bioactive lipids. Its biological functions extend to influencing inflammation and neurodegenerative processes. Due to its structural properties, C20-Sphingosine can form lipid bilayers and is studied for its potential therapeutic applications in various diseases, including cancer and metabolic disorders. As with many sphingolipids, its metabolism and regulation are critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis.
