Product Information

• Name: N-Acetyl-phytosphingosine
• Synonyms: N-Acetyl (2S, 3S, 4R)-2-amino-1,3,4 -octadecanetriolN-Acetyl 4-hydroxysphinganine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Acetyl-phytosphingosine is a sphingoid base that functions as a phospholipid constituent of the cell membrane. It participates in the regulation of calcium and lipid metabolism, as well as cell proliferation and differentiation. N-Acetyl-phytosphingosine has been shown to suppress the production of prostaglandin E2, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenases and their downstream products, prostaglandin synthesis. This compound also represses activity of human cancer cells by intercepting the process that leads to prostaglandin synthesis. The anti-inflammatory effect of this molecule is demonstrated by its ability to reduce inflammation in keratinocytes (skin cells) and human keratinocytes.
