Sphingosine & Ceramide
Sphingolipids were first isolated from brain by J.L.W. Thudichum (1829-1901) as lipids of unknown function and structure. The name "sphingo" comes from the Greek word sphingein for holding tight. (The Sphinx also comes from this word root. See the Wikipedia article for Sphinx, as well as sphincter muscle.) The basic structure is a long-chain base, usually sphingosine (2-amino-4-octadecene-1,3-diol abbreviated as d18:1), whose amino-group is acylated with a long-chain fatty acid. This hydrophobic structure is called ceramides. |
スフィンゴ脂質は J.L.W. Thudichum (1829-1901) により機能や構造未知の脂質として脳から見いだされました。スフィンゴという名前はギリシャ語の sphingein に由来しており、「固く縛る」という意味です。(スフィンクスの語源もこれに同じで、括約筋のことを英語で sphincter muscle といいます。)基本骨格は長鎖塩基 (長鎖アミノアルコール、通常はd18:1と記載されるスフィンゴシン) のアミノ基が長鎖脂肪酸とアミド結合したもので、セラミドと呼ばれます。 |
Ceramides with the sphingoid are prevalent as membrane components of eukaryotic cells. Sphingomyelin is a ceramide with phosphocholine. Some ceramides are organ-specific. |
スフィンゴ骨格をもつセラミドは細胞組織の膜成分として普遍的に存在します。セラミドにホスホコリンがついたものが有名なスフィンゴミエリンです。臓器特異的なセラミドもあります。 |
Biosynthesis
Sphingosine is synthesized from decarboxylating condensation of palmitoyl CoA with serine on the ER membrane. It is a 18-carbon amino alcohol (16 carbons from palmitic acid and 2 from serine) with one unsaturated bond (trans-form) at the C-4 position (2-amino-4-octadecene-1,3-diol). (more details) |
スフィンゴシンはパルミトイルCoAがアミノ酸セリンと脱炭酸縮合して生成します。炭素を18個含むアミノアルコール(16個がパルミチン酸、2個がセリン由来)でトランス型の不飽和結合をC-4に1つ含みます。(詳細はこちら) |
