Information
Defensamide (MHP) Defensamide (MHP) is an activator of sphingosine kinase (SPHK1) . It can modulate the innate epidermal immune response by potentiating SPHK1 activity and inducing cAMP production.
Targets
SPHK1
In vitro
Treatment with MHP directly activates SPHK1 and increases cellular S1P content in normal cultured human keratinocytes. MHP also stimulates CAMP production and enhances epidermal antimicrobial defense via the recently identified S1P-dependent mechanism. Defensamide (MHP) treatment also activates NF-κB which is assessed by nuclear translocation of NF-κB.
