3-keto Sphinganine (d6:0) (hydrochloride) Usage And Synthesis
Description
3-keto Sphinganine (d6:0) is a short-chain analog of the typical C18 chain-length 3-keto sphinganine (d18:0) . 3-keto Sphinganine (d18:0) is a lyso-sphingolipid formed by the condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA by serine palmitoyl transferase (SPT). Vitamin K deficiency inactivates SPT resulting in a decrease in the production of 3-keto sphinganine and other sphingolipids.1
Uses
3-Keto sphinganine (d6:0) (3-Keto-C6-dihydrosphingosine) hydrochloride, an ester product, is a short-chain analog of 3-keto sphinganine. 3-keto sphinganine provokes the accumulation of dihydroshingolipids and induces autophagy in cancer cells[1].
