LL-37

LL-37 is a naturally occurring antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response. It is part of the cathelicidin family and has broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. LL-37 is involved in immune defense by disrupting the cell membranes of pathogens and modulating inflammation. It also promotes wound healing and tissue regeneration. Beyond its antimicrobial effects, LL-37 is being studied for its potential in treating conditions like chronic infections, inflammatory diseases, and even cancer due to its ability to influence immune function and cell growth.
