Target Information: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite that regulates diverse biologic processes. SGPP1 catalyzes the degradation of S1P via salvage and recycling of sphingosine into long-chain ceramides (Mandala et al., 2000 [PubMed 10859351]\, Le Stunff et al., 2007 [PubMed 17895250]).[supplied by OMIM, Jun 2009]
