Sphingosine kinase activity is not required for tumor cell viability.

Sphingosine kinase activity is not required for tumor cell viability.

Sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are enzymes that phosphorylate the lipid sphingosine, leading to the formation of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). In addition to the well established role of extracellular S1P as a mitogen and potent chemoattractant, SPHK activity has been postulated to be an important int...
