General description

18:1 (Δ6-Cis) PC (1,2-dipetroselenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a lipid derivative having a phosphocholine backbone. It also has two18 carbon fatty acid chains, each having one cis double bond at the 6th carbon.
The list of Phosphatidylcholine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C3-C8 are water soluble and hygroscopic), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PC′s. All of the products are purified by HPLC, and special precautions are taken to protect the products for oxidization and hydrolysis.

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 membrane
  • in 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.
