LL37 154947-66-7

LL-37 (CAS No. 154947-66-7) is a synthetic human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, derived from the C-terminal region of hCAP18. As the only member of the cathelicidin family in humans, LL-37 plays a crucial role in innate immunity, exhibiting broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Product Description

Key Features & Advantages

 

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity

 

LL-37 exhibits potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, making it an important tool for studying innate immune responses and antimicrobial mechanisms.

 

Immunomodulatory Effects

 

Beyond direct antimicrobial activity, LL-37 modulates immune cell function, enhances chemotaxis, regulates cytokine production, and contributes to the resolution of inflammation.

 

Promotes Wound Healing & Tissue Regeneration

 

LL-37 has been shown to accelerate epithelial cell migration, angiogenesis, and tissue repair, supporting research in regenerative medicine and skin biology.

 

Anti-Biofilm Properties

 

The peptide can disrupt biofilms, a common challenge in chronic infections, enabling studies on infection prevention and therapeutic interventions.

 

Low Cytotoxicity

 

LL-37 is non-toxic to mammalian cells at effective concentrations, making it suitable for in vitro and ex vivo research.
