LL-37

LL-37, also known as Human Cathelicidin Antimicrobial Peptide (CAMP), is touted as a “mammal’s core tool” to fight off various harmful microorganisms in the body. It’s produced by many cell types including natural killer (NK) cells, white blood cells, and skin cells. In addition, different body systems such as the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, testes, and ocular surface also produce LL-37. This powerful peptide has piqued the interest of the research community because its immune-modulating activities have the potential to accelerate tissue recovery and significantly improve the survival rate of patients with chronic debilitating medical conditions.
