Abstract

Lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1‐phosphate are structurally simple and physiologically very important lysophospholipids. Because they possess distinct structural backbones (glycerol and sphingosine, respectively), there are different metabolic pathways for their intracellular production. Recently, several key enzymes that produce or degrade these lysolipid phosphate mediators extracellularly have been characterized. This review focuses on the physiological and pathophysiological significances of the extracellular metabolic pathways involving recently characterized exo‐type lysophospholipase D, ecto‐type phospholipase A, and ecto‐type lipid phosphate phosphatase. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Astrocytes have essential roles for neuron survival and function, so that their demise in neurodegenerative insults, such as ischemia, deserves attention. A major event of the cell death cascade in ischemia is the reversed operation of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAAT), releasin
