Bioactivity | Sphingosine (d17:1) is a 17-carbon sphingosine found in human skin. Sphingosine (d17:1) can be phosphorylated by sphingosine kinases to produce C-17 sphingosine-1-phosphate. Sphingosine C-17 was used as an internal standard for spectral analysis of sphingoid compounds[1][2][3]. | |||||||||
