The chemistry and biology of LL-37

Matthew F Burton et al. Nat Prod Rep. 2009 Dec.

Abstract

LL-37 is a human host defence peptide that has a wide range of biological functions, including antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. This review summarises how molecular structure influences the balance between the immunomodulatory and antimicrobial functions of LL-37.
