Abstract
Sphingolipids have been emerged as bioactive lipid modulators that mediate a variety of cell functions. However. the effects of sphingolipids on the cell growth and survival of melanocytes are not yet known. In the present study, we investigated the actions of sphingolipids in Mel-Ab melanocytes. We observed the cytoprotective effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate (SPP) on UVB-induced cell death. (omitted)
