'''Sphingosine kinase 2''' is a [[Biology:Protein|protein]] that in humans is encoded by the SPHK2 [[Biology:Gene|gene]].<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: Sphingosine kinase 2| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=gene&cmd=retrieve&list_uids=56848| accessdate = 2011-12-22 <!-- T01:45:38.071-08:00 --> }}</ref>

This gene encodes one of two [[Biology:Sphingosine kinase|sphingosine kinase]] isozymes that catalyze the [[Biology:Phosphorylation|phosphorylation]] of [[Chemistry:Sphingosine|sphingosine]] into sphingosine 1-phosphate. Sphingosine 1-phosphate mediates many cellular processes including [[Biology:Cell migration|migration]], [[Biology:Cell growth|proliferation]] and [[Biology:Apoptosis|apoptosis]], and also plays a role in several types of cancer by promoting [[Biology:Angiogenesis|angiogenesis]] and tumorigenesis. The encoded protein may play a role in breast cancer proliferation and chemoresistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

The researchers also found that the expression of sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) and the secretion of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) were significantly upregulated in the lungs of CS-exposed mice with COPD-like symptoms.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Yanhui |last2=Zhang |first2=Yongrong |last3=Rao |first3=Cheng |last4=Huang |first4=Jieyun |last5=Qing |first5=Qiong |date=2023-03-16 |title=Deletion of sphingosine kinase 2 attenuates cigarette smoke-mediated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-like symptoms by reducing lung inflammation |url=https://www.bjbms.org/ojs/index.php/bjbms/article/view/8034 |journal=Biomolecules and Biomedicine |language=en |volume=23 |issue=2 |pages=259–270 |doi=10.17305/bjbms.2022.8034 |pmid=36226596 |issn=2831-090X|pmc=10113950 }}</ref>
