These early findings also underscored that phosphorylation of pro‐drugs (e.g., FTY720) can yield potent agonists at multiple S1P receptors including S1P5."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nWithin the central nervous system, S1P5 expression is largely restricted to oligodendrocytes.
