LL-37
Also known as: Cathelicidin, Cathelicidin LL-37, CAP-18 peptide, hCAP-18/LL-37, Ropocamptide
Classification
Peptide
Regulatory Status
not-established
Overview
LL-37 exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating and potential antineoplastic activities, including regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis and cytokine production and support of wound-healing processes; nonclinical work also reports pro-apoptotic tumor-suppressive activity via p53 induction in some cancer cell contexts.
Evidence and limitations
Human/preclinical evidence breakdown is not available in this record.
