Application
24:0 PC (1,2-dilignoceroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
in both short-chain micelles and longer-chain oriented multilayers and in Langmuir monolayers for structural studies of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein
to compare cohesion/to study the effects of lipid cohesion on the thermally induced revaporization and dissolution of microbubble condensed droplets (MCDs)
to study its effects on non-amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and to study the effects of the its carbon chain length on α-secretase activity

Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholines (PCs) serve as a major source for eicosanoids.
