The cytosolic enzyme sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingoids (SPG) to sphingoid 1-phosphate (S1P). The main product is sphingosine 1-phoshate, a bioactive lipid that acts extracellularly on G protein-coupled receptors of the S1P1/EDG-1 subfamily (Nava et al., 2000; Pitson et al., 2000; Wang et al., 2013; reviewed by Siow & Wattenberg, 2011). The isoforms SK1a, SK1b, and SK1c are produced through alternative splicing and show functional differences in their activity (reviewed by Hatoum et al., 2017). SPHK1 is regulated transcriptionally by transcription factors, cytokines, and micro-RNAs (reviewed by Bonica et al., 2020). Its activity is also modulated by posttranslational modifications and interactions with other proteins (reviewed by Pulkoski-Gross & Obeid, 2018). Through its product S1P, which is a multifunctional signaling lipid, SPHK1 is essential in inflammation processes (reviewed by Rauch, 2014). SPHK1 was also shown to be associated with cancer genesis, progression, and metastasic processes (Zhang et al., 2014).
