    Product Description

    D-erythro Lysosphingomyelin is a bioactive sphingolipid.1 It is an agonist of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1), S1P2, and S1P3 (EC50s = 167.7, 368.1, and 482.6 nM, respectively, for the human receptors). D-erythro Lysosphingomyelin is also an agonist of the orphan receptor ovarian cancer G protein-coupled receptor 1 (ORG1) that induces calcium accumulation in cells overexpressing OGR1 (EC50 = ~35 nM).2 Levels of D-erythro lysosphingomyelin are increased in skin isolated from patients with atopic dermatitis, as well as postmortem brain from patients with Niemann-Pick disease type A, but not type B.3,4 As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone.
