Function | Catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Also acts on D-erythro-sphingosine and to a lesser extent sphinganine, but not other lipids, such as D,L-threo- dihydrosphingosine, N,N-dimethylsphingosine, diacylglycerol, ceramide, or phosphatidylinositol (PubMed:11923095, PubMed:20577214, PubMed:23602659, PubMed:24929359, PubMed:29662056). In contrast to proapoptotic SPHK2, has a negative effect on intracellular ceramide levels, enhances cell growth and inhibits apoptosis (PubMed:16118219). Involved in the regulation of inflammatory response and neuroinflammation. Via the product sphingosine 1-phosphate, stimulates TRAF2 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, and promotes activation of NF- kappa-B in response to TNF signaling leading to IL17 secretion (PubMed:20577214). In response to TNF and in parallel to NF-kappa-B activation, negatively regulates RANTES induction through p38 MAPK signaling pathway (PubMed:23935096). Involved in endocytic membrane trafficking induced by sphingosine, recruited to dilate endosomes, also plays a role on later stages of endosomal maturation and membrane fusion independently of its kinase activity (PubMed:24929359, PubMed:28049734). In Purkinje cells, seems to be also involved in the regulation of autophagosome-lysosome fusion upon VEGFA (PubMed:25417698). |

Binds to membranes containing negatively charged lipids but not neutral lipids (PubMed:24929359) Recruited to endocytic membranes by sphingosine where promotes membrane fusion (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CI15, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19854831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24929359} |

Background
SPHK1(Sphingosine Kinase 1), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SPHK1 gene. Melendez et al.(2000) mapped the SPHK1 gene to chromosome 17q25.2 based on sequence identity with ESTs mapped to this region. Kohama et al.(1998) demonstrated that recombinant mouse Sphk1 can specifically phosphorylate D-erythro-sphingosine and that D, L-threo-dihydrosphingosine and N, N-dimethylsphingosine can act as competitive inhibitors of recombinant Sphk1. Pitson et al.(2000) found that recombinant SPHK1 and endogenous SPHK1 purified from placenta had identical enzymatic characteristics, suggesting posttranslational modification does not effect functional properties.
