Description

LL-37 | Human Cathelicidin Peptide for Research

We offer high-purity LL-37, the 37-amino acid C-terminal fragment of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial protein (hCAP18). As a key component of the innate immune system, this peptide is supplied in a lyophilized form to ensure maximum stability and bioactivity for immunology and microbiology research.

LL-37 is a cationic, amphipathic peptide that is a fundamental tool for scientists studying host defense mechanisms. It is used extensively in in-vitro models to investigate microbial membrane interactions, chemotaxis, and immunomodulatory effects on various cell types. Its well-characterized properties make it essential for research into innate immunity, inflammation signaling, and the development of novel research reagents.

Storage and Handling

For optimal integrity, it is recommended to store lyophilized LL-37 in a freezer at -20°C.
