Definition
L-threo-sphinganine is also known as L-threo-dihydrosphingosine or L-threo-dhs. L-threo-sphinganine is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). L-threo-sphinganine can be found in a number of food items such as white mustard, narrowleaf cattail, tea, and ucuhuba, which makes L-threo-sphinganine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1,2-aminoalcohols. These are organic compounds containing an alkyl chain with an amine group bound to the C1 atom and an alcohol group bound to the C2 atom.
