LL-37 – Synthetic Human Cathelicidin Analog
For Laboratory Research Use Only – Not for Human or Veterinary Application
Product Overview
LL-37 is a synthetic peptide modeled after the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide. In laboratory settings, it is evaluated for its activity in innate immune signaling, epithelial defense mechanisms, and regenerative wound healing models. This compound is strictly intended for in vitro and preclinical research protocols conducted by qualified professionals.
It is not approved for therapeutic, diagnostic, or dietary use and is supplied in sterile lyophilized form.

Research Applications
LL-37 is utilized in controlled laboratory models focused on:
- Barrier Defense Research – Examining epithelial stabilization in mucosal, dermal, and intestinal systems under inflammatory or microbial stress
- Innate Immunity Studies – Modeling cytokine response, chemotaxis, and host-pathogen interface
- Wound Healing and Epithelial Recovery – Tracking cell migration and tissue regeneration in controlled wound closure assays
- Antimicrobial Peptide Function – Evaluating synthetic analog performance in bacterial membrane interaction assays and immune receptor profiling
All studies remain strictly investigational.
Mechanistic Relevance
- Conserved Peptide Structure – Analogous to naturally secreted LL-37 in epithelial and myeloid cells
- Dual Functional Role – Explores both regenerative and antimicrobial research pathways
- Versatile Lab Use – Applicable in epithelial, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and ocular models
