$49.99$34.99

This is a specialized research product of LL-37, a multifaceted antimicrobial peptide (AMP), strictly intended For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use.


Description & Application

  • Description: LL-37 is a 37-amino acid peptide and the only member of the cathelicidin family found in humans. It is naturally produced by various cells, including neutrophils and epithelial cells, as part of the innate immune response.

  • Mechanism: In research models, LL-37 is known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It functions by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses. Beyond direct antimicrobial action, it acts as a signaling molecule that can modulate inflammatory responses and promote wound healing.

  • Research Focus: It is widely utilized in laboratory settings to investigate:

    • Innate immunity and host-defense mechanisms.

    • Angiogenesis and tissue regeneration pathways.

    • Biofilm disruption and antimicrobial resistance models.

    • Modulation of inflammatory cytokines and chemotaxis of immune cells.

    • Potential roles in autoimmune signaling and tumor microenvironment research.
