Description
Human host-defense / antimicrobial peptide
LL-37 is a multifunctional antimicrobial peptide known for its ability to target and neutralize bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Contributes to immune system regulation by enhancing the body’s natural defenses. Also supports wound healing by promoting tissue regeneration and accelerating recovery. Studied for its effectiveness in reducing biofilm formation and protecting against antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
