LL37

Mô tả

LL-37 (also known as human cathelicidin) is a naturally occurring 37-amino-acid antimicrobial peptide and the only cathelicidin found in humans. It is produced by immune cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) and epithelial cells as part of the innate immune system. LL-37 exhibits broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even some parasites. Beyond direct antimicrobial effects, it also modulates inflammation, promotes wound healing, and regulates immune responses. It is being researched for potential therapeutic uses in infections, skin disorders, and inflammatory conditions. This content is for research purposes only and is provided solely for reference.
