摘要: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a sphingolipid metabolite that functions as bioactive lipid molecule. S1P degraded either by lyase or phosphohydrolase. The gene encoding mammalian lyase, SPL, has been identified. Here, we characterize the SPL protein in its expression, localization, and topology. expression levels of correlated well with dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate (DHS1P) activity most tissues. However, liver heart exhibited high DHS1P activities compared to their levels. mRNA was temporally regulated during mouse embryonal development. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated localized at endoplasmic reticulum. Proteinase K digestion studies revealed large hydrophilic domain, containing active site, faces cytosol. This site orientation opposite phosphohydrolase, indicating degradation two S1P-degrading enzymes occurs spatially separated sides
