LL-37 is the sole human cathelicidin-derived host-defense peptide, released from the hCAP-18 precursor protein, and is supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use only. It is one of the most extensively characterized antimicrobial peptides in the peer-reviewed literature, studied for its pleiotropic roles in innate immune signaling, membrane interaction, and host-defense research.
Product Description
- The only known human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, cleaved from the hCAP-18 precursor
- Cationic, amphipathic alpha-helix that interacts with anionic microbial membranes in vitro
- Studied for chemotactic and immunomodulatory signaling through the FPR2/ALX receptor in cell models
- Investigated in biofilm, epithelial-barrier, and wound-matrix research
- A heavily cited reference peptide in the innate-immunity literature
Research Use Notes
- Supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed vial
- Requires reconstitution before use; Amino H2O sold separately
- Appearance: white to off-white lyophilized powder
- Cationic peptides can adsorb to plastic surfaces; low-binding labware is commonly used in the literature
- Identity and purity verified by third-party COA
Storage & Handling
- Store the sealed lyophilized vial frozen (-20C), protected from light
- Keep refrigerated (2-8C) once reconstituted
- Do not repeatedly freeze and thaw reconstituted material
