LL-37 is a Antimicrobial peptide.
This Peptide acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptide involved in host defense and wound repair, but can also promote inflammation and cancer cell proliferation in some contexts5215
LL-37 is a cationic amphipathic 37-amino-acid cathelicidin peptide generated from hCAP18 that disrupts microbial membranes and modulates innate immunity, including chemotaxis, cytokine induction, and NET formation521586
LL-37 is a Membrane disruptor.
Functions as a ligand for CXCR2 on neutrophils and other myeloid cells; LL-37 signaling has also been linked to FPR2 and P2X7 in various cell types515
