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 activity in SH-SY5Y membranes
• in liposome to study the effect of its acyl chain length and bond saturation on pore formation

ChEBI: 1,2-di-[(6Z)-octadecenoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a 1,2-di-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in which the acyl group specified at positions 1 and 2 is (6Z)-octadecenoyl. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is functionally related to a petroselinic acid.

18:1 (Δ6-Cis) PC (1,2-dipetroselenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), a lipid derivative is made up of a phosphocholine backbone. It has two18 carbon fatty acid chains, each having one cis double bond at the 6th carbon.

Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) help to reduce the level of blood lipid and cholesterol.
