Loss of Sphingosine Kinase Alters Life History Traits and Locomotor Function in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sphingolipid metabolism is important to balance the abundance of bioactive lipid molecules involved in cell signaling, neuronal function, and survival.Specifically, the sphingolipid sphingosine mediates cell death signaling, whereas its phosphorylated form, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), mediates cell survival signaling.The enzyme sphingosine kinas
