Sphingosine-1-phosphate: From insipid lipid to a key regulator

The Journal of Biological Chemistry
S Spiegel

Abstract

It is a great honor to be asked to write a "Reflections" article by one of the true icons of biochemistry, Herb Tabor. I felt humbled, especially since it follows many written by biochemists I admire and whose contributions have shaped major advances in biochemistry and molecular biology in the last century. Here I present my personal reflections on my adventure with the bioactive sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate intertwined with those of my family life as a wife, mother, and grandmother. These reflections brought back many memories of events in my early career that played significant roles in determining the path I have taken for more than 40 years and that brought much fun and satisfaction into my life. It has been an exciting journey so far, with many surprises along the way, that still continues.
