18:1 Diether PC or 1,2-di-O-(9Z-octadecenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine might be used:

• to prepare proteoliposomes to investigate the effects of ceramide and ceramide phosphate/ for the determination of phospholipase A activity of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in the ether matrix
• to prepare lipid bilayer membrane to study the influence of glutamic acid residues and pH on the properties of transmembrane helices
• in large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) to explore the differential interaction of pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) with it by utilizing fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic approaches

Lipids prepared using 18:1 Diether PC (phosphocholine)are found to be more stable than the natural ester lipids under alkaline conditions.
