What is LL-37?

LL-37 (Cathelicidin Antimicrobial Peptide-18) is a naturally occurring human defense peptide, derived from the C-terminal region of the hCAP-18 precursor protein. It serves as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and immune-modulating molecule, essential to innate immunity, wound healing, and tissue repair. Research demonstrates LL-37’s ability to neutralize pathogens, modulate inflammation, and stimulate angiogenesis and collagen regeneration, positioning it as a key peptide in studies of skin repair, infection control, and immune resilience.

FAQ

How much is in each vial?

Each vial contains precisely the amount indicated on the label. For instance, a 10mg vial includes precisely 10mg of lyophilized peptide. Researchers may divide it into smaller fractions, such as four 2.5mg portions, while the total amount remains 10mg.

Does it come with instructions?

USA Peptides Direct products are designated for in vitro research. Prior to working with them, conduct thorough research. Our team will offer general assistance via text post-purchase.

What other supplies are needed?

Peptides come as lyophilized powder. They are not reconstituted, and any necessary bacteriostatic water or syringes must be obtained separately for research purposes.

How long does a vial last?

Peptides remain stable for up to 2 years in lyophilized powder form. After reconstitution, refrigerate and expect stability for about 2 months.

Is LL-37 the only human cathelicidin?

Yes, the CAMP gene encodes the precursor (hCAP18) from which the active 37-mer LL-37 is generated; LL-37 is the sole human cathelicidin.

What purity do you provide?

Each 10 mg vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third-party testing is performed on every lot (COA via on-vial QR).

Do you provide a PubChem image?

Yes, the 2D structure above is rendered from PubChem CID 16198951 for LL-37. (Identifier also listed by multiple reagent databases.)

How should I reconstitute it?

Dissolve in sterile water or a compatible buffer; gently invert until fully dissolved. If your SOP requires sterility, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot to avoid repeat freeze–thaw.

Quality, Storage & Handling

Each lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); QR on the vial links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purityquantity, and endotoxin.

  • Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long-term or 2–8 °C short-term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
  • After reconstitution: Use neutral, oxygen-poor buffer when possible; aliquot and store at ≤−20 °C; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
  • Working solutions: Prepare fresh; minimize exposure to light/alkaline pH to reduce degradation.

Shipping

Ships in validated cold-chain packaging. In-stock orders placed before the daily cutoff dispatch the same day2-Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included.
