Product description
Unlike the proliferative action of SPHK1, SPHK2 has been shown to possess anti-proliferative or pro-apoptotic action. SphK2 suppresses growth and enhances apoptosis, independent of activation of S1P receptors. Sequence analysis revealed that SphK2 contains a 9 amino acid motif similar to that present in Bcl2-homology domain 3 (BH3)-only proteins, a pro-apoptotic subgroup ofthe Bcl-2 family. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that SphK2 interacted with Bcl-xL; however, mutation of the conserved leucine residue present in all BH3 domains only partially reduced apoptosis induced by SphK2, suggesting that the SphK2 protein possesses additional determinants important for thisfunction.
