Abstract excerpt
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a phospholipid that acts through G-protein-coupled plasma membrane receptors and induces a broad spectrum of cellular responses, including proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis. Here we report that in NIH3T3 and C3H10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts S1P activates a Ca2+-dependent, voltage-independent K+ current (EC50-value 113 nM) that is blocked by the K+ channel blockers...
