Biochem/physiol Actions A lipid second messenger that binds to S1P1 and S1P3 receptors. Mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ stores and decreases cellular cAMP. Activates phospholipase D. S1P stimulates the migration of endothelial cells but inhibits the migration of other cell types. Induces angiogenesis.
A putative lipid second messenger; found to inhibit cellular mobility of melanoma cells at very low concentrations with no toxic effects thereby making it a possible agent for prevention of tumor cell metastasis and inflammatory processes; mobilizes int
