General description

A cell-permeable and reversible inhibitor of protein kinase C (IC50 = 12 µM) and enhances src kinase activity. Useful for inhibiting cell surface expression of selectins that promote adhesion of leukocytes or tumor cells to platelets and endothelial cells. Induces apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells.

Sphingolipids are constituents of biological membranes. Ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) also act as second messengers and are part of a rheostat system, in which ceramide promotes cell death and growth arrest, and S1P induces proliferation and maintains cell survival.
