LL-37 Cathelicidin: Research Background and Preclinical Findings

This product is not intended for weight loss, human consumption, or veterinary use. It is sold for research purposes only. Please handle with care and follow all safetyWhat is LL-37 cathelicidin used for in research?
guidelines for the specific chemicals involved.

LL-37 is the only known human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, derived from the C-terminal domain of hCAP-18. It belongs to a family of host defense peptides studied for broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, immunomodulatory activity, and wound-healing mechanisms. In preclinical studies using lab rats, LL-37 cathelicidin has been investigated as a research tool for examining infections and inflammatory conditions due to its ability to modulate immune responses and preserve tissue integrity in research models.

A study by Zhang et al. (2020) examined LL-37 in a rat model of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection. Results indicated reduced bacterial load and inflammation, with enhanced bacterial clearance and accelerated wound healing parameters compared to control groups in the research model. (PMID: 32019965).

Another study by Lyu et al. (2019) examined LL-37 cathelicidin in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury model. LL-37 administration was associated with attenuated inflammation and reduced oxidative stress markers in rat lung tissues. The findings indicated that LL-37 modulated the expression of cytokines such as TNF-a and IL-6 in the research model. (PMID: 31669328).

Lastly, research by Jiang et al. (2021) evaluated LI-37 in a chemically-induced colitis model. The peptide significantly improved colon morphology, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased the expression of tight junction proteins, indicating enhanced barrier protection in the gastrointestinal tract (PMID: 34125549).

Conclusion

Preclinical findings across these rat models indicate that LL-37 cathelicidin exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-repair related activity in controlled research settings. These findings support its continued investigation as a research compound in immunology and antimicrobial peptide research. NuScience Peptides supplies LL-37 (CAP-18) in 5mg lyophilized vials at 99%+ purity, lab tested, for laboratory research use only. Certificates of Analysis are available on the NuScience Lab Test Results page.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What is LL-37 cathelicidin used for in research?
LL-37 (CAP-18) is the only known human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, studied in laboratory settings for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as its immunomodulatory effects on cytokine networks, chemotaxis, and wound healing pathways. Preclinical research in rat models has examined its role in infection control, gastrointestinal barrier function, and anti-inflammatory signaling. NuScience Peptides supplies LL-37 cathelicidin in 5mg lyophilized vials for laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

2What is the difference between LL-37 and CAP-18?
CAP-18 (hCAP-18) is the full cathelicidin precursor protein. LL-37 is the active 37-amino acid peptide fragment generated when CAP-18 is enzymatically cleaved at the C-terminus. LL-37 is the biologically active form studied in antimicrobial and immunomodulatory research. Both names refer to the same active peptide in the research literature, along with the alternate synonym cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide.

3What are the molecular formula and weight of LL-37?
LL-37 cathelicidin has the molecular formula C205H340N60O53 and a molecular weight of approximately 4,493 g/mol. It consists of 37 amino acids with the sequence LLGDFFRKSKEKIGKEFKRIVQRIKDFLRNLVPRTES. CAS Number: 154947-66-7. NuScience Peptides supplies LL-37 in 5mg lyophilized vials at 99%+ purity.

4Is LL-37 lab tested?
Yes. All NuScience Peptides products, including LL-37 cathelicidin (CAP-18) 5mg, are third-party lab tested for purity and identity at 99%+. Certificates of Analysis are available on the NuScience Lab Test Results page.

5How should LL-37 be stored and reconstituted?
Store lyophilized LL-37 at 2–8°C. For long-term storage, freeze at -20°C. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under aseptic conditions. After reconstitution, aliquot and freeze at -20°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Protect from light and moisture. For full storage protocols, see the NuScience Peptide Handling and Storage guide.
