DMPE is 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, a C14:0 phosphatidylethanolamine identified by CAS 998-07-2.
PubChem CID 9852308 and ChemicalBook both list the formula C33H66NO8P, molecular weight about 635.9, and InChIKey NEZDNQCXEZDCBI-WJOKGBTCSA-N for this identity.
This product is handled as DMPE, not DOPE; DOPE corresponds to a different phospholipid record.
