Role of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Phosphohydrolase 1 in the Regulation of Resistance Artery Tone.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which mediates pleiotropic actions within the vascular system, is a prominent regulator of microvascular tone. By virtue of its S1P-degrading function, we hypothesized that S1P-phosphohydrolase 1 (SPP1) is an important regulator of ...
