LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism4[1], 5[2]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism6[1], 5[2]

Ratio Explanation:

The ratio reflects the balance between de novo synthesis of dihydrosphingomyelin and the breakdown or modification of mature sphingomyelin, potentially regulated by SGPP1 activity.

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

Altered SGPP1 function likely dysregulates sphingolipid metabolism, impacting the balance of sphingomyelin species.7[1] This dysregulation is associated with disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, triglycerides, and HbA1c, possibly through effects on insulin signaling and lipid homeostasis.8[2], 9[3], 10[4], 11[5], 12[6]

Phenotype Driver:

Gene-centric:SGPP1
