ATP-independent glucose stimulation of sphingosine kinase in rat pancreatic islets
Sphingosine kinase (SPHK) catalyzes sphingosine 1-phosphate production, promoting cell survival and reducing apoptosis in isolated rat pancreatic islets. Glucose, the primary islet β-cell growth factor and insulin secretagogue, increased islet SPHK activity by 3- to 5-fold following acute (1 h) or p...
