Term ID

GO:1905329

Synonyms

• dihydrosphingosine transport
• long-chain base transport
• phytosphingosine transport
• sphingoid base(1+) transport
• sphingoid transport
• sphingosine transport

Definition

The directed movement of a sphingoid long-chain base, sometimes referred to as long-chain base, or sphingoid base, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Sphingoid long-chain bases are long-chain aliphatic amines that are the fundamental building blocks of sphingolipids. The main mammalian sphingoid long-chain bases are dihydrosphingosine and sphingosine, while dihydrosphingosine and phytosphingosine are the main sphingoid long-chain bases in yeast. 27136724
