Abbreviation: LL-37
Target Synonym: Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide;CAMP_HUMAN;CAMP;18 kDa cationic antimicrobial protein;CAP-18;hCAP-18;FALL39;HSD26
Target Species: Human
Expression Host: E.coli
Fusion Tag: N-GST
UNIProt ID: P49913
Background: Antimicrobial protein that is an integral component of the innate immune system. Binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Acts via neutrophil N-formyl peptide receptors to enhance the release of CXCL2. Postsecretory processing generates multiple cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides with various lengths which act as a topical antimicrobial defense in sweat on skin. The unprocessed precursor form, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, inhibits the growth of Gram-negative E.coli and E.aerogenes with efficiencies comparable to that of the mature peptide LL-37 (in vitro).
Sequence: Leu 134-Ser 170
Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.
Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.
