LL-37

LL-37 is a naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide derived from the human cathelicidin protein (hCAP18) and consists of 37 amino acids. It is an important part of the innate immune system, helping the body defend against a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

In scientific research, LL-37 is studied for its antimicrobial activity as well as its potential role in modulating immune responses and inflammation. It is also investigated for its involvement in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and skin barrier protection. Researchers are particularly interested in how LL-37 influences immune signaling pathways and its possible applications in dermatology, infectious disease research, and regenerative medicine.
