COVER: S1P is formed intracellularly by the phosphorylation of sphingosine, and S1P must
be secreted from cells in order to signal through a family of cell surface G protein-coupled
receptors. One important transporter of S1P is spinster 2 (SPNS2). Recent studies
have shown that SPNS2-mediated secretion of S1P has important roles in the trafficking
of immune cells in both autoimmune diseases and cancer metastasis. (See Spiegel et al. in the JLR March issue, p. 484.)...Show more
