abstract：:Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is an ubiquitously present extracellular lipid mediator that is released by several cell types, particularly by activated platelets. The effects of S1P are mediated by a specific family of G protein-coupled sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1P1-S1P5). We demonstrate that S1P acts on hem...
