DMPG, also known as 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol, is a phospholipid molecule with phosphate polar head connected to two non-polar lipid (myristic acid) by a glycerol molecule. In water, the molecule can orient itself into a lipid bilayer and can be used for drug encapsulation, such as drug loaded liposomes or nanoparticles.

1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-(1-glycerol) (Sodium Salt), is used in the production of micelles, liposomes, and other type of artificial membranes.
