Specification Summary
LL-37 5 mg — Research Peptide
Product title
LL-37 5 mg | Lyophilized Research Peptide
Short description
LL-37 is a synthetic, 37-amino-acid research peptide modeled after the naturally occurring human cathelicidin peptide. It is studied in laboratory settings for its interactions with microbial membranes, innate immune signaling, inflammatory pathways, cellular migration, and tissue-repair mechanisms.
Supplied as 5 mg of lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial.
Full product description
LL-37 is a cationic, amphipathic peptide consisting of 37 amino-acid residues. It is the active C-terminal peptide derived from the human cathelicidin antimicrobial protein, also known as hCAP18.
The name LL-37 refers to its two N-terminal leucine residues—“LL”—and its total length of 37 amino acids. In experimental environments, LL-37 is extensively studied as a host-defense peptide because of its ability to interact with biological membranes and participate in several innate immune processes.
Current research examines LL-37 in connection with microbial membrane disruption, biofilm models, chemotactic signaling, cytokine regulation, angiogenic pathways, cellular migration, and experimental tissue-repair responses. Its biological activity can vary depending on concentration, experimental model, solution conditions, and the presence of salts, serum, or other biological components.
This product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and is intended exclusively for qualified laboratory research and analytical applications.
Research focus
LL-37 is commonly investigated in laboratory models involving:
- Host-defense and innate immune signaling
- Peptide–membrane interactions
- Bacterial membrane permeability
- Experimental bacterial and fungal models
- Biofilm formation and disruption
- Cytokine and inflammatory signaling
- Chemotaxis and immune-cell recruitment
- Keratinocyte and epithelial-cell migration
- Angiogenic signaling pathways
- Experimental wound-closure mechanisms
- Structure–activity relationships
- Development of LL-37-derived peptide analogues
LL-37 has complex, context-dependent biological behavior. Experimental findings should not be interpreted as evidence of safety or effectiveness in humans.
