Description
LL-37 is a cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that is part of the cathelicidin family, playing a crucial role in the innate immune system. Derived from the precursor protein hCAP18, LL-37 is produced by various cell types, including neutrophils, epithelial cells, and immune cells. It exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi by disrupting their cell membranes. Beyond its antimicrobial properties, LL-37 is also involved in modulating inflammation, promoting wound healing, and influencing adaptive immune responses. It can attract immune cells to sites of infection and enhance the production of cytokines, contributing to host defense.
