Application

N-C24:1-deoxysphinganine or N-nervonoyl-1-deoxysphinganine (m18:0/24:1) has been used as a standard inthe quantitation of atypicalsphingoidbasesin biological samples byreverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem massspectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-deoxysphinganine might be toxic to cancer cells. It is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes. 1-deoxysphinganine acts as a cytotoxic lipid for insulin producing cells.

General description

1-deoxysphinganine is an atypical sphingoid base, which lacks a 1-hydroxyl group.
