Uses
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
Definition
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.
General Description
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) help to reduce the level of blood lipid and cholesterol.
