Sphingosine Kinase 2

Preferred Label : Sphingosine Kinase 2;

NCIt synonyms : Sphingosine Kinase Type 2; SPK 2; EC 2.7.1.91; SK 2; SPHK2;

NCIt definition : Sphingosine kinase 2 (654 aa, 69 kDa) is encoded by the human SPHK2 gene. This protein is involved in phosphosphingolipid synthesis.;

NCIt note : Sphingosine kinase 1 catalyzes the conversion of sphingosine to sphingosine-1-phosphate, which, in turn, mediates signal transduction pathways that regulate cell proliferation, cell migration, apoptosis and angiogenesis.;
