What is LL-37?

LL-37 is cleaved from the precursor protein hCAP18 and is expressed by neutrophils, epithelial cells and other immune-related cell types throughout the body. Its name reflects the peptide’s first two residues, leucine-leucine, and its 37-amino-acid length, and it folds into an amphipathic alpha-helix that underlies much of its activity.

How it is understood to work

LL-37 physically disrupts bacterial membranes and can neutralize bacterial endotoxin and break down established biofilms, functioning as part of the innate immune system’s first line of defense. Beyond direct antimicrobial action, it modulates immune-cell recruitment and cytokine release and has been linked to promoting epithelial repair and new blood vessel formation in study models.

Research status

LL-37 is studied extensively in antimicrobial-resistance research, biofilm-associated infection models, wound-healing biology and innate-immunity signaling, spanning bacterial, cell-culture and animal-model systems. It is a naturally occurring host-defense peptide rather than a drug candidate on its own, and research continues into engineered variants with improved selectivity.

Handling & storage

Supplied as a lyophilized powder; keep unopened vials frozen and protected from light, and once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store refrigerated and use within the timeframe appropriate to your study.

Concentration check: adding 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to one 5 mg vial gives 2.5 mg/ml. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard works this out for any volume.

Questions

Is LL-37 the same molecule in every mammal?

No, LL-37 specifically refers to the human cathelicidin peptide; other species produce related but structurally distinct cathelicidin peptides, so cross-species comparisons in the literature should be read with that distinction in mind.

Why is LL-37 of interest for antimicrobial-resistance research?

Because it kills bacteria by physically disrupting membranes rather than targeting a single enzyme or protein, it is studied as a model for antimicrobial mechanisms less prone to the resistance pathways that undermine many conventional antibiotics.

How much LL-37 is in this kit?

10 vials of 5 mg each, so 50 mg in total. The lab testing section above shows what the brand’s tested vial actually contained.
