ncbi summary :
This gene encodes one of two sphingosine kinase isozymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine into sphingosine 1-phosphate. Sphingosine 1-phosphate mediates many cellular processes including migration, proliferation and apoptosis, and also plays a role in several types of cancer by promoting angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. The encoded protein may play a role in breast cancer proliferation and chemoresistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

uniprot summary :
SPHK2: Catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP), a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular functions. Also acts on D-erythro- dihydrosphingosine, D-erythro-sphingosine and L-threo- dihydrosphingosine. Binds phosphoinositides. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Lipid Metabolism - sphingolipid; Kinase, lipid; EC 2.7.1.91. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.2. Cellular Component: membrane; lysosomal membrane; cytosol. Molecular Function: D-erythro-sphingosine kinase activity; protein binding; Ras GTPase binding; sphinganine kinase activity; diacylglycerol kinase activity; ATP binding; NAD+ kinase activity. Biological Process: cell proliferation; blood vessel development; sphingolipid metabolic process; sphingolipid biosynthetic process; protein kinase C activation; positive regulation of cell proliferation; sphinganine-1-phosphate biosynthetic process; brain development; sphingosine metabolic process; lipid phosphorylation; negative regulation of apoptosis
