Term Name: | sphingoid long-chain base transport |
---|---|
Synonyms: | dihydrosphingosine transport, long-chain base transport, phytosphingosine transport, sphingoid base(1+) transport, sphingoid transport, sphingosine transport |
Definition: | The directed movement of a sphingoid long-chain base, sometimes referred to as long-chain base, or sphingoid base, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Sphingoid long-chain bases are long-chain aliphatic amines that are the fundamental building blocks of sphingolipids. The main mammalian sphingoid long-chain bases are dihydrosphingosine and sphingosine, while dihydrosphingosine and phytosphingosine are the main sphingoid long-chain bases in yeast. |
