Application

18:1 (Δ6-Cis) PC (1,2-dipetroselenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:to generate sn-1 C18:1(Δ6-cis)- lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and sn-1 C18:1(Δ9-cis)-LPC standards for structural characterization of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) species by tandem electrospray ionization-linear ion trap-mass spectrometry (ESI-LIT-MS)to study the effect on α-secretase activityin SH-SY5Y membranein liposome to study the effect of its acyl chain length and bond saturation on pore formation

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine(PC) can form a hydrophobic surface in the mucus by acting as a surfactant to inhibit the penetrance of bacteria.
