Rabbit Antibody to Mouse Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase

Description:

The cleavage of sphingoid base phosphates by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase to produce phosphoethanolamine and a fatty aldehyde is the final degradative step in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway. Researchers at NIH injected rabbits with the C-terminal peptide of the mouse S1P lyase — 551-TTDPVTQGNQMNGSPKPR-568 — to develop an antibody that can be used in western blotting to study this pathway.
