Phytosphingosine（Cat No.:R013870） is a bioactive phospholipid known for its anticancer effects. In cancer cells, it plays a vital role in inducing apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death. Phytosphingosine achieves this by activating caspase 8, an enzyme involved in apoptotic pathways, and promoting the translocation of Bax, a pro-apoptotic protein, within the cells. These mechanisms lead to the selective elimination of cancer cells, making Phytosphingosine a promising candidate for cancer therapy research.
