Fifty years of lyase and a moment of truth: sphingosine phosphate lyase from discovery to disease[S]
Sphingosine phosphate lyase (SPL) is the final enzyme in the sphingolipid degradative pathway, catalyzing the irreversible cleavage of long-chain base phosphates (LCBPs) to yield a long-chain aldehyde and ethanolamine phosphate (EP).
