Schematic model of S1P synthesis and export in platelets and erythrocytes. S1P is synthesized via the phosphorylation of sphingosine (Sph) by sphingosine kinase (SK). S1P was exported by ATP- and Ca2+-dependent transporters in platelets. However, thrombin-stimulated S1P export was mainly performed by the ATP-dependent transporter (21). Erythrocyte S1P transport systems do not have a Ca2+-dependent transporter and are not activated by any stimuli. PKC, protein kinase C; PLSCR, phospholipid scramblase.
