Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
sphingosine 1-phosphate S1P, noncompetitive inhibition. Bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate has a regulatory function for CerS2. Residues Arg230 and Arg325 are essential for S1P binding to the S1P1 receptor. Mutation of both residues to alanine completely abolishes the inhibitory effect of S1P on CerS2 without affecting the basal activity of CerS2. Thus, S1P can regulate CerS2 activity via a direct interaction with an S1P receptor-like motif found uniquely in CerS2 Mus musculus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function good correlation between CerS2 mRNA levels and levels of ceramide and sphingomyelin containing long acyl chains in tissues with CerS2 mRNA expression at high levels. The activity of CerS2 can be regulated by another bioactive sphingolipid, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), via interaction of S1P with two residues that are part of an S1P receptor-like motif found only in CerS2 Mus musculus
