Sphingolipids are complex, ubiquitous lipids commonly believed to protect the cell surface against harmful environmental factors by forming a mechanically stable and chemically resistant outer leaflet of the plasma membrane lipid bilayer. Over the last decade relatively simple sphingolipid catabolites, such as ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), have been identified as signal-transducing molecules involved in the regulation of cell growth, viability, mitosis, cytoskeletal rearrangement, immunity and angiogenesis in a variety of cells and tissues [1]. Ceramide and S1P are products of the membrane phospholipid sphingomyelin, and
