Tetraacetylphytosphingosine is a sphingolipid metabolite produced by phytosphingosine acetylation. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine exerts its inhibitory action on angiogenesis through the inhibition of MAPK activation and intracellular calcium increase. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine induces apoptosis in HaCaT cells.

Description

Tetraacetylphytosphingosine is a sphingolipid metabolite produced by phytosphingosine acetylation. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine exerts its inhibitory action on angiogenesis through the inhibition of MAPK activation and intracellular calcium increase[1]. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine induces apoptosis in HaCaT cells[2].

In Vitro

Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS; 5 μM; 24 h) markedly decreases VEGF-induced chemotactic migration and capillary-like tube formation in HUVEC. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine significantly inhibits VEGF-induced proteolytic enzyme production, including MMP-2, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Tetraacetylphytosphingosine also suppresseS VEGF-induced phosphorylation of p42/44 extracellular signal-regulated kinase and c-JNK[1].
In addition, Tetraacetylphytosphingosine abolished VEGF-induced intracellular calcium increase[1].
In HaCaT cells, Tetraacetylphytosphingosine co-treatment synergistically increases the level of UVB-induced apoptosis via caspase activation by regulating the level of pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
