Ozanimod, a sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator, binds with high affinity selectively to S1P receptor subtypes 1 (S1P1) and 5 (S1P5), and is approved in multiple countries for treating adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) or moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Here, S1PR5 is linked to multiple sclerosis.
