SPHK2 - sphingosine kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as SK 2; SK-2; SPK 2; SPK-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About SPHK2
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 6.4), duodenum (RPKM 5.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes one of two sphingosine kinase isozymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine into sphingosine 1-phosphate. Sphingosine 1-phosphate mediates many cellular processes including migration, proliferation and Apoptosis, and also plays a role in several types of Cancer by promoting angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. The encoded protein may play a role in breast Cancer proliferation and chemoresistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
