Background: Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (SP-lyase) is a member of the group ll decarboxylase family that is involved in lipid metabolism. SP-lyase has a variety of functions contributing to normal development, including maintenance of the reproductive system, stress responses, tissue integrity and cell survival. Located in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, SP-lyase is responsible for the irreversible degradation of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a lipid important in cell proliferation and migration and, once cleaved by SP-lyase, is degraded into fatty acids and phosphoethanolamine. Through its ability to regulate S1P expression, SP-lyase may play a role in stress-induced apoptosis and is thought to exhibit tumor suppressor activity by silencing S1P activity. Current research suggests that SP-lyase may be a useful target for cancer therapy drugs, as increasing its expression during tumorigenesis may help to regulate cell proliferation.
