Product Description: (Rac)-Phytosphingosine ((Rac)-4-Hydroxysphinganine) is the racemate of Phytosphingosine (HY-W011303). Phytosphingosine is a phospholipid with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-cancer activities, which can induce apoptosis. Phytosphingosine is an immune regulator and can be used in the study of inflammatory skin diseases. Phytosphingosine is also an activator of GPR120 with an IC50 value of 33.4 μM and can be used in the study of type II diabetes[1][2][3][4][5].
