LL-37 is a human antimicrobial peptide with a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It plays a significant role in immune defense and has been studied for its potential in treating infections, inflammatory conditions, and even cancer. LL-37 promotes wound healing and immune modulation, making it a versatile peptide in regenerative and immune therapies.
Mechanism of Action:
LL-37 acts by disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to their death, and has immune-regulatory effects, which include modulating cytokine production and inflammation. It also stimulates wound healing by enhancing cell proliferation and tissue repair, making it valuable for conditions where immune support and tissue regeneration are needed.
