A DNA sequence encoding the human SPHK1 (Q9NYA1-1)(Met1-Leu384) was expressed the N-terminal polyhistidine-tagged GST tag at the N-terminus.
Alternative Names
SPHK1 ; SPHK ; SPK
Background
SPHK1, also known as sphingosine Kinase 1, catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including cell proliferation, survival, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and morphogenesis. It is a ligand for cell surface G protein-coupled receptors. SPHK 1 is a potential therapeutic target for the control of cancer and inflammation. SPHK1 plays a key role in TNF-alpha signaling and the NF-kappa-B activation pathway important in inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and immune processes.

Shipping
Kinases are highly recommended to be shipped at frozen temperature with blue ice or dry ice.Shipment made at ambient temperature may seriously affect the activity of the ordered products.
